“Youngblood” Earns 5SOS Their First #1

5 Seconds of Summer score their first No. 1 on Billboard’s Pop Songs radio airplay chart with their latest single “Youngblood”.

The honor is the latest for the Australian band with the song, which a week ago became its first top 10 on the all-genre, airplay-, streaming- and sales-based Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Before “Youngblood,” which leaps with Greatest Gainer honors, which means 10 percent up in airplay, for a third consecutive week, 5SOS had peaked as high as No. 15 on Pop Songs with “She’s Kinda Hot” in 2015. Greg Marella, Capitol Music Group executive vice president promotion, recently told Billboard of “Youngblood,” “the band made a hit record. It connected.”
