2 November 2015 (TORONTO, ON) - 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS) celebrate their second Canadian #1 album debut as Sounds Good Feels Good (via Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company) storms straight to the top spot in the Official Albums Chart. The album also tops the #1 spot across the globe including the UK, the U.S. and their home country, Australia. 5SOS has released this statement, “This # 1 isn’t just for us, it’s for all our fans and to everybody who has supported us, especially everyone who has been there from the beginning. Our fans have been truly amazing - this is for all of you. We made an album that is incredibly personal to us and we just hope our fans can relate to it and that it brings a bit joy to people's lives. We all can't wait to play it next year on our tour. Thanks again to everyone who has made this possible.” This incredible International chart success tops off what can only be described as a monumental year for the band. They spent the summer performing SOLD OUT headline shows across the UK, Canada, the U.S. and Australia including three massive SOLD OUT nights at the SSE Arena, Wembley during their ‘Rock Out With Your Socks Out’ 2015 worldwide tour. By the end of the tour, the lads had played to over 1,000,000 fans in 2015 across three continents. 5SOS are one of the biggest breakthrough stories of the last two years; six multi-million selling singles, a self-titled debut album that not only topped the Canadian Album Chart (going to #1 globally on iTunes in 76 countries) but also became the third biggest pre-order in iTunes history. From the start, 5SOS were united by a love of punk-rock music and a vision of bringing it into the pop stratosphere. They played their first gig together in late 2011, performing for about a dozen people at a hotel in their hometown of Sydney, Australia. Three years later, they were headlining the Forum in Los Angeles, where they played for 25,000 fans during a sold-out, two-night stand. One of many standout tracks from the new album, new single ‘Hey Everybody’ is a confident all-out rock assault to the senses - crunching guitars, high octane drumming and a belting chorus.
