It was released as the second single from the band's 12th studio album, The Razors Edge, on 12 November 1990. A live version of the song recorded on the band's 1990–1991 Razors Edge World Tour appears on AC/DC's 1992 live album, Live.
"Moneytalks" is one of AC/DC's biggest hits, entering the top 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100 (becoming the band's highest-charting single), the UK Singles Chart, and the Australian ARIA Singles Chart. In Finland and New Zealand, it became a top-10 hit. During their subsequent world tour, thousands of "Angus Bucks" were dropped on the audience during the song. A music video of the song, directed by David Mallet, was also released, featuring a live performance during the tour. Despite its popularity, it has not been performed in concert by the band since the tour.
