“Hey Everybody” – along with “She’s Kinda Hot,” “Money,” “Jet Black Heart” and “Fly Away” – are

available instantly to fans who pre-order the digital version of Sounds Good Feels Good, available HERE.

The album hit No. 1 on iTunes in 50 countries just hours after the pre-order launched.

In their second cover story on the band, Billboard noted, “5SOS is an anomaly in 2015: a Generation Z

guitar band that sells records.…On Sounds Good Feels Good, the guitars thunder more...” Alternative

Press, which awarded the album four stars, observed, “Sounds Good Feels Good delivers….The album

finds its crux in the first single, ‘She’s Kinda Hot,’ with the triumphant line in the chorus: ‘We are the kings

and queens of the new broken scene.’” Kerrang hailed it as a “killer new album” and gave it four K’s, noting,

“Opener ‘Money’ explodes into one of the biggest anthems of the year.”

“She’s Kinda Hot,” which won Song of the Summer honors at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, topped

the iTunes charts in 44 countries and was a Top 15 hit at Top 40 radio. 5 Seconds of Summer spent three

months living together in a studio in Los Angeles, writing and recording Sounds Good Feels Good, which

was executive produced by rock veteran John Feldmann (All Time Low, Good Charlotte, Boys Like Girls).

The band is among the all-star lineup of artists featured on the 2015 iHeartRadio Jingle Ball tour. The New

York City show, which will take place at Madison Square Garden, will be streamed live on Yahoo! at

www.yahoo.com/iheartradio on Friday, Dec. 11, at 8 p.m. ET and a 90-minute special will air on The CW on

Thursday, Dec. 17 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

5 Seconds of Summer’s self-titled debut album entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1, selling 260,000 units in

the U.S. in its first week of release, marking the biggest debut for a new act in 2014 and the biggest debut

ever by an Australian artist. It topped the iTunes charts in a total of 76 countries. The band has won

numerous awards, including an American Music Award, a People’s Choice Award, five MTV European

Music Awards, an MTV Video Music Award and an iHeartRadio Music Award. In 2015, 5 Seconds of Summer played to more than one million fans across three continents, including three massive sold-out

nights at the SSE Wembley Arena in London.
