Hailed as the “biggest new rock act in the world” by Rolling Stone, 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS) have made chart history, becoming the only band (not vocal group) in chart history to see its first three full-length studio albums enter the Billboard 200 at #1.
Combined sales of 5SOS’s first two albums now exceed seven million units worldwide. Having already sold over 1 million concert tickets around the globe, in 2016 the band played 101 sold-out arena shows at some of the world's biggest venues.
The band’s latest album ‘Youngblood’, went straight to the top spot of the Billboard 200 when released in June 2018 and has to date sold over 1 million copies. ‘Youngblood’ – the album’s title song – quickly became a global smash hit reaching Spotify’s Global Top 10 with worldwide streams of the track now surpassing 400 million. The single has spent 5 consecutive weeks at #1 at U.S. Top 40 Radio and topped Australia’s official singles chart for 8 consecutive weeks, giving ‘Youngblood’ the joint-3rd longest spell at #1 for an Australian act in the ARIA chart.
5SOS – comprising Luke Hemmings (vocals/guitar), Michael Clifford (vocals/guitar), Calum Hood (vocals/bass) and Ashton Irwin (vocals/drums) – have won an array of awards including an American Music Award, a People’s Choice Award, 7x MTV European Music Awards, 8x Teen Choice Awards, an iHeartRadio Music Award, two ARIA Awards, an MTV Video Music Award and 4x Kids' Choice Awards.
