5 Seconds of Summer Complete a ‘180 Flip’ With New Album ‘Everyone’s A Star!’: Stream It Now
Time flies, and for fans of 5 Seconds of Summer (5SOS), a significant milestone has arrived: their self-titled debut album, released in 2014, is now over a decade old. This Australian band, comprising Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin, quickly made waves in the music industry, achieving remarkable success with their first three albums—*5 Seconds of Summer* (2014), *Sounds Good Feels Good* (2015), and *Youngblood* (2018)—all debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. This accomplishment not only marked them as the first Australian act with three No. 1 albums on the all-genre chart but also established them as the only band to achieve this feat with their initial three studio albums. Fast forward to today, and 5SOS is still riding high with the release of their sixth studio album, *Everyone’s A Star!*, which dropped on November 14, 2023.
Recorded in Los Angeles and Nashville, *Everyone’s A Star!* showcases a vibrant and upbeat sound that reflects the band’s evolution and dedication to authenticity. In a statement, the band emphasized that the album was created from a genuine place, focusing on what felt exciting rather than chasing trends. This fresh approach is evident in the album’s lively tracks, which Hemmings describes as a “180 degree flip” from their previous introspective work. The band collaborated with a talented roster of producers, including Jason Evigan and Julian Bunetta, to create a sound that they feel is the most representative of their identity as a group. Furthermore, the album’s release is accompanied by the music video for the single “Telephone Busy,” directed by Frank Borin, adding visual depth to their musical journey.
Looking ahead, 5SOS is set to embark on the *Everyone’s A Star!* Tour starting in March 2026, with initial dates in the U.K. and Ireland before heading to a series of concerts across Europe and North America. The tour will include two highly anticipated shows at Madison Square Garden in New York City on June 13 and 14. With over 18 million career album sales, more than 10 billion streams, and a remarkable 15 songs charting on the Billboard Hot 100, including their hit “Youngblood,” which peaked at No. 7, 5SOS continues to solidify their legacy in the music industry. As they celebrate this new chapter with *Everyone’s A Star!*, fans can look forward to an exhilarating tour and the band’s ongoing evolution as artists.

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.
