5 Seconds of Summer hold for a second week with “Youngblood” atop the ARIA Singles Chart, with the song newly certified ▲Platinum in sales.
The four-piece performed on The Voice Australia last Sunday night, also announcing their upcoming national tour beginning in mid-August, while the bands third album is due out in two weeks time (15th of June) also titled ‘Youngblood’, and as the albums title tracks holds for a second week it now becomes the bands longest running No.1 locally, beating the one week that “She Looks So Perfect” achieved back in late March of 2014. Plus this is also the first time since mid-April that a song has held for two weeks at the top (even though the Drake track ‘Nice for What’ logged two weeks at No.1, it was a broken run), since “God’s Plan” for Drake logged eleven weeks at the summit here, while “Youngblood” sits atop both the streaming and digital chart this week too.
5SOS are No.2 in New Zealand (and #9 in Norway), but the new N.Z. #1 is our current No.2 song for Post Malone and “Better Now”, holding for a fourth week in second place, while the seven week running UK and Irish No.1 song for Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa with “One Kiss” is up a spot to a new peak of No.3 here.
