5 Seconds of Summer broke US records as they topped this week's Billboard Top 200 Chart, with their first number one album.
The Australian band recently released their self-titled album in the United States and immediately received a huge following among their American fans.

This marks the third most successful sales since the beginning of 2014, following only Coldplay 's "Ghost Stories" and Eric Church's albums, LA Times reported.
Band members Michael, Luke Calum and Ashton have each expressed their delight over the news. Ashton Irwin for instance, tweeted, "To everyone that's been a part of the journey so far we love you so much, you guys made the album number #1 in the US, we are speechless..."
5 Seconds of Summer's single "She Looks So Perfect"initially debuted at number two on the charts during its release in April. Several months after, it gained even more popularity and landed at the number one spot on the chart, The Music noted.
