The quartet is one of the most successful Australian musical acts in history, boasting sales of over 10 million albums and over 2 million concert tickets worldwide.

They have more than 7 billion streams across all streaming services. 5 Seconds of Summer’s first four albums, She Looks So Perfect, Sounds Good Feels Good, Youngblood, and Calm, debuted at number one on the ARIA Albums chart and cemented them in history as the first Australian act to achieve their first three full-length albums debuting at number one on the Billboard 200.
