More 5 Seconds Of Summer More 5 Seconds Of Summer

After mid-week projections, 5 Seconds Of Summer have come through with the goods, breaking a near-seven year drought on the ARIA charts. 

The Sydney outfit's new album, Youngblood, has debuted at #1 on the Albums chart, while they also retain top spot on the Singles chart for a fifth-straight week. 

They are the first Australian act to hold #1 on both lists, since Gotye did the same in August 2011.

It comes after 5SOS became the first local act to hit top spot on the Singles chart in almost two years and debuted at #3 on the UK Top 100 Album charts earlier today.
