For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) was released on November 23, 1981. The album was recorded during May and September of 1981. The recording sessions took place at  Mobile One Studios in Paris. The album was the follow-up to the band's very successful 1980 album, Back in Black.

For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) has sold more than four million copies in the United States. It was AC/DC's first and only number one album in the United States until the release of their 2008 album Black Ice.
