5 Seconds of Summer: A New Chapter Unfolds with 'Everyone's a Star!'
Time flies when you're having fun. It's been over a decade since the Australian pop-rock band released their self-titled debut album in 2014. Those four fresh-faced Sydney lads catapulted to stardom, securing three No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 within a streak of three consecutive chart-toppers: Sounds Good Feels Good (2015) and Youngblood (2018). This Australian act etched its name in history books as the first to achieve this feat – not only on the all-genres weekly chart but also as the only band to have their first three studio albums debut at the top of the Billboard 200.
Now, more than a decade later, 5 Seconds of Summer is still sizzling hot. The band members – Luke Hemmings, Michael Clifford, Calum Hood, and Ashton Irwin – are back with the release of Everyone's A Star!, their sixth studio album. Recorded in Los Angeles and Nashville, this new record boasts an upbeat, vibrant vibe that was built from a place of genuine passion.
"We weren't chasing a sound or a trend; we were chasing what felt exciting to us," reads a statement from the band. "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."
The album features collaborations with top producers like Jason Evigan, Julian Bunetta, and John Ryan. Director Frank Borin also helmed the music video for "Telephone Busy," which arrives today.
According to Luke Hemmings, the new collection marks a 180-degree flip from their introspective and ethereal self-titled 2022 studio album. The band's approach has shifted towards embracing every exciting or unique experience in the studio, resulting in work that feels like their best yet – something they've been building up to for years.
The Aussies will kick off their Everyone's A Star! Tour in March 2026 with dates in the UK and Ireland before embarking on a weeks-long run across Europe. US concerts will follow in May, including two shows at New York's iconic Madison Square Garden.
With career album sales topping 18 million and over 10 billion streams under their belt, 5 Seconds of Summer has cemented its status as one of the world's most successful bands. They've scored 15 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, with a best of No. 7 for 2018's "Youngblood." A total of six 5SOS titles have cracked the top 10 on the Billboard 200.

OMG, I'm literally beyond excited for their new album everyone's a star!!! i mean, who doesn't love a good pop-rock vibe? 
they've come so far since their debut and it's amazing to see them still killing the game 
luke, michael, calum & ash are just so talented and down-to-earth, it's like they're one of our own 
plus, 18 million album sales and over 10 billion streams? that's no joke 
their concerts must be AMAZING, can't wait to see them on tour in march 2026! 
and can't wait for the tour in march next year 
The fact that they've got a whole team of top-notch producers behind them must be giving them so much creative freedom to experiment with different sounds and vibes. I love how Luke says it's their most "us" record yet – it's like you can feel the passion and energy in every track 
. I mean, a 180-degree flip from their last album? sounds like an exaggeration to me. where's the depth? the substance? I'm still waiting for some real introspection or experimentation. it's always the same energetic and catchy pop-rock vibes... 
, what's next for these lads?
. Bring on Everyone's A Star! 
. I think what's impressive about 5 Seconds of Summer's latest album is that it feels so authentically "them". They've clearly taken a different approach from their last record, and it shows in the final product – there's an energy to these tracks that's infectious 
. The fact that they're embracing experimentation and having fun with the creative process really shines through on this new album... it makes me wanna jump up and dance 
!
but i love how they're embracing every vibe in the studio and making something truly unique. 180-degree flip is a great way to put it lol! 
and can't wait for the tour, especially at MSG 
️. these guys have been killing it for years and still got that fire 
the fact that they're back with an upbeat vibe is just perfect i love how they're not trying to chase trends but are staying true to themselves 
can't wait to see them live in march 2026 at madison square garden 
the aussies have been on fire with over 10 billion streams under their belt 
can't wait to rock out with them again 
. I love how passionate they are about music, it's infectious! And can we talk about how talented those Aussie lads are? 
It'll be amazing to see them perform on tour next year – can't wait for the US shows at Madison Square Garden 
I've been listening to "Everyone's A Star!" nonstop since it dropped and I'm already planning on getting tickets for their tour 
Plus, have you seen the lyrics on this new album? "We weren't chasing a sound or a trend; we were chasing what felt exciting to us"... sounds like just a bunch of fluff to me. I bet there's more to it than meets the eye...
