Australian Pop phenomenon 5 Seconds of Summer’s debut album has hit the #1 spot on iTunes in 27 different countries since going live this morning including the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Australia & New Zealand and incredibly it does the double in NZ where both the album and the NZ Instant Grat track ‘Good Girls’ hit #1 on iTunes.

Having already taken the world by storm with the warm-up, million+ selling, worldwide #1 first single ‘She Looks So Perfect’, it’s now time for the main event… 5 Seconds of Summer announce their much anticipated, self-titled debut album due to be released on June 27th.

5 Seconds of Summer, have delivered a debut that is everything you could hope for from a band on the monumental trajectory that they have carved out for themselves. The album, which includes collaborations with The Madden Brothers of Good Charlotte, Alex Gaskarth of All Time Low and John Feldmann (producer, All Time Low, Good Charlotte, Boys Like Girls), is packed with adrenaline-fuelled, lyrically mischievous hits, featuring the anthemic opener and global No.1 smash ‘She Looks So Perfect’ as well as the more recently announced guitar-pop pile driver ‘Don’t Stop’ - the teaser video for which has amassed an astonishing 2.2 million views on YouTube since going live last week. Bringing the pace down a notch, show stoppers ‘Beside You’ and ‘Amnesia’ then highlight vocals and arrangements that have helped them win the hearts of millions of screaming fans across the world.

The lads celebrated the announcement of the album this week by creating a #Hungry5SOS game.  Fans are invited to play the game to unlock exclusive 30-second clips from the album.  The #Hungry5SOS game got 2 million hits on launch earlier this week bringing down an entire data centre.  Check it out here www.hungry5sos.com.

A truly astonishing social phenomenon, these guys have been causing chaos around the globe. In a little under eighteen months they have toured the globe amassing a phenomenal combined 12 million Twitter Followers, 3 million Facebook Likes and over 60 million YouTube views. All this and they have only just released their first single - the video for which has had over 24 million views on YouTube alone.
