You should watch one of their concerts (plenty of full length versions on YouTube) - maybe the Take My Hand Tour, since it is the most recent, in preparation for your upcoming concert - The 5 Seconds of Summer Show! You are going to have an absolute blast seeing them live...they are even more exceptional!! Have fun, & I hope you do a review/tell us your thoughts after!! ๐๐ฉท

2023-08-25 20:23:41 +0000 UTCWoohoo! Thanks Travis - I had a permanent smile on my face watching this with you. Whilst they didn't do this type of promo for any other album, it is a fan favourite for sure. In fact a lot of fans tried to get James Corden to do a Carpool Karaoke with 5SOS but when it wasn't happening, the boys just did their own thing. It's weird because James is definitely a fan of theirs having had them on his tv show regularly. In any event, their version of it is very endearing. They did do a fun promo for Youngblood called "Cocktail Chats" which you would also really like (might have to request that one another time ๐). As for how CALM did on the charts - it did surprisingly well considering Covid hit just as they were releasing it. It went Number 1 in Australia and the UK but there was controversy with the US and it went Number 2. A shipping error caused 11,000 copies to be released early in the US, causing Calm to debut a week early at number 62 on the Billboard 200, before ascending to number two in its second week. The fact that the album would have been Number 1 if it had not mistakenly been released a week early, sparked outrage among the band's fans with hashtags such as #BillboardCountThe10k trending on Twitter and the creation of a petition with more than 50,000 signatures. However, according to Billboard, their policy is to reflect album sale activity in the tracking week that the paying customer receives an album. ๐๐
