5 Seconds Of Summer First Aussie Act To Top US Charts In Three Years Since... 5 Seconds Of Summer

After making history on the ARIA charts last week, Aussie outfit 5 Seconds Of Summer have done it again, this time on the US Billboard charts. 

The Sydney band's latest LP, Youngblood, has debuted at #1 on the Top 200, making them the first Australian act to top the list since… you guessed it, 5 Seconds Of Summer, with their second LP, Sounds Good Feels Good in 2015.

In fact, 5SOS have held the record since back in 2014 with their self-titled debut album, which topped the chart in August that year and before that, Sia's 1000 Forms Of Fear took out top honours in July, 2014.

And if that wasn't sweet enough from a local standpoint, the four-piece are the first band in BILLBOARD HISTORY to have their first three studio albums all go straight to #1.

It comes after 5SOS made history in Australia, becoming the first local act to top both the ARIA Albums and Singles charts since 2011.

As well as taking out #1 on the Top 200, Youngblood also debuted in top spot on the US Top Album Sales chart and #3 on the Digital Albums list.

Just as impressive, the album managed to beat out Jay-Z and Beyonce's surprise collab record, Everything Is Love, which debuted on the Top 200 at #2.
