Band has No. 1 most-selling album this week
Multi-Platinum selling pop-rock band 5 Seconds of Summer have charted No. 2 in the US on the Billboard Top 200 with their highly anticipated fifth studio album 5SOS5. The album also debuted No. 1 on the Album Sales, Digital Albums, and Current Pop Albums charts. 5SOS5 garnered global success landing No. 1 in Australia, the UK, and the Netherlands.
“Thank you to everyone all over the world who’s listened to this record, your support means the world to us,” the group says about the album’s success.
With 5SOS5, the band has ascended to the next level musically. The 19-track album showcases the band’s multi-faceted artistry and growth over their 10-year career, highlighting their dynamic pop-punk sound paired with reflective and intimate lyrics, with the majority of the new album written by the band and vocalist/guitarist Michael Clifford leading on production.
The band recently unveiled the music video for their new single “Bad Omens,” a visual metaphor for just how far one will go in the name of love despite red flags. For the video, the band collaborated with Ukrainian directors Alyona Shchasnaia and Danny Mitri. “Bad Omens” is the very first international commercial/video shoot in Ukraine since the war began.
5SOS5 also includes previously released singles “Blender,” “Take My Hand,” “Me, Myself & I,” and the smash hit “Complete Mess,” an anthemic single that took airwaves by storm as the No. 2 most added at Top 40 Radio with 100+ stations in the first week.
