5 Seconds of Summer has officially taken the No. 1 spot in the Billboard 200 albums chart with their new album "Sounds Good Feels Good." Reportedly, this sophomore album has collected a total of 192,000 units during its first week in which 179,000 of it are pure album sales.
Only the second album and it's the second time the 5SOS bagged 1st place in numerous music charts. It seems that this Aussie pop rock band is making a name for themselves.
5SOS has started this admirable feat with their EP titled "She Looks So Perfect" that soared to No. 2 in the charts. And when the band released their debut full-length self-titled album, they have been scoring no. 1 since.
In a report by Ace Showbiz citing Billboard, the band has already created a distinction for their name being the only band whose first two albums scored No. 1 in the coveted music charts.
5SOS is comprised of four young boys: Luke Hemmings as the lead vocalist, Michael Clifford with the guitar, Calum Hood for bass, and Ashton Irwin for drums. The group insists that despite being a four-person group and appearing with One Direction during the latter's "Take Me Home Tour," they wish the media won't refer to them as a boy band. Instead they want to bear the impression as an Australian pop rock band who creates music by playing their own instruments and creating their original lyrics.
While this Aussie dudes started as Youtube celebrities now debuting on live stage, there's still a long way to go and more music to make. Meanwhile, 5SOS has announced an all access documentary DVD "How Did We End Up Here." It will feature the group's humble beginnings to behind-the-scenes and of course cover their music performances.
"How Did We End Up Here" will be released on November 23.
