Answer: third

The album sold less than 'Highway to Hell' (1979) and, of course, 'Back in Black' (1980). It became so popular because it was released in the USA soon after 'Back in Black'.

5. How many singles were released from the original international album?

Some censors felt that the song had a double meaning. If you look at the lyrics to the song, however, you can see that 'balls' refer to fancy parties.

7. What is special about the song 'Problem Child'?

Answer: It appears on another studio-album

'Problem Child' also appears on the 'Let There Be Rock' album. On the 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap' album, when the song's final solo ends, the band starts the main riff again. In the 'Let There Be Rock' version, it just ends after the final solo.

8. The AC/DC trademark lightning appears on the international album cover of 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap'.

The word 'AC/DC' is written with a "/" and not with the famous lightning, because it was released before the band members had started using the lightning. Also, the text is pink instead of the more common red.

9. What position did the single 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap' reach on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart in North America?

Answer: 4

The other song that placed on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart from this album was 'Big Balls'. 'Big Balls' went to number 26.
