The 1975 are currently celebrating after their new album debuted at No.1 in five countries, as well as topping the iTunes charts in a staggering 31 countries. 

The 'Ugh', 'Love Me' and 'Chocolate' Manchester sensation dropped their epic second album, I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It, last month - and has since gone on the become a global triumph. They're currently in the midst of a UK and European tour, having kicked things off with a huge opening at Brixton Academy this weekend

The record has since debuted at No.1 in the UK Official Albums Chart and US Billboard Hot 200, as well as rocketing to the top spot in Canada, Australia and New Zealand and claimed No.1 on iTunes in 37 countries on launch. Not bad. 

Reviewing the album, we said: "I Like It When You Sleep is a record that owes as much to M83 as it does Madonna. In a world of beige pop, we welcome this flourish of colour. Exceeding the national average, excelling in pop and smashing your expectations - accept nothing less from The 1975."
