5SOS: HOW BIG?
Capitol's 5 Seconds of Summer’s hotly anticipated album streets this week and is set to crash into the #1 spot on next week's HITS Album Sales Chart; early reads have it in the 250-275k ball park.
The band will headline a show at L.A.'s newly refurbished Forum on 11/15, it was announced today.
In the meantime, of course, the band is stoking the fire surrounding the album drop with a huge TODAY Show appearance today, a block party on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday (7/24) and other splashy stuff.
The Aussies' eponymous full-length (which earned more pre-orders than any release in UMGD history) is making the iTunes album chart its bitch; they're currently on a massive tour with One Direction (with whom they share Modest Management); and they'll be among the performers at the VMAs on 8/24.
The world, as the saying goes, is their oyster. To discover how they got here, see our setup story.
