Time flies at a frightening pace. Need a reminder? 5 Seconds of Summer’s self-titled debut is more than a decade old.
Those four, fresh-faced Sydney lads dropped 5 Seconds of Summer back in 2014, the first in a streak of three No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. After Sounds Good Feels Good (2015), and Youngblood (2018) went to the penthouse, 5SOS etched their name in the record books, as the first Australian act with three No. 1 albums on the all-genres weekly chart and the only band (not vocal group) to have their first three studio albums debut at the top.

5 Seconds of Summer is still hot. High school mates Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood and Ashton Irwin return today (Nov. 14) with the release of Everyone’s A Star! (via Republic Records), 5SOS’ sixth studio album.
Recorded in Los Angeles and Nashville, the new record, with its bright, uptempo vibe, was built “from a really genuine place,” reads a statement from the band. “We weren’t chasing a sound or a trend, we were chasing what felt exciting to us. Every track feels alive in a way that reminds us of why we started making music in the first place. Everyone’s A Star! is the most ‘us’ we’ve ever sounded, and we’re so proud to share it with everyone who’s been part of this journey.”
An extensive list of producers and collaborators joined in for the ride, including Jason Evigan (Maroon 5, Benson Boone, Papa Roach, Rüfüs Du Sol), Julian Bunetta and John Ryan (Sabrina Carpenter, Teddy Swims), and director Frank Borin, who helmed the music video for “Telephone Busy,” which also arrives today.
Speaking with Billboard, Hemmings said the new collection was like a “180 [degree] flip” from their “introspective… ethereal” self-titled 2022 studio album. Every time they’d soak up something “crazy or different” in the studio, they went for it. “It feels like our best work and it feels like every album before has been leading up to it.”
The Aussies will kick off their Everyone’s A Star! Tour in March 2026, initially with dates in the U.K. and Ireland, then weeks-long run across the European continent. U.S. concerts will follow in May, and include two shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden, June 13 and 14.
Career album sales, according to Republic, top 18 million, with over 10 billion streams, and more than six million tickets shifted worldwide. 5SOS has landed 15 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, with a best of No. 7 for 2018’s “Youngblood.” All told, six 5SOS titles have cracked the top 10 on the Billboard 200, including those three leaders.
