February 16, 2017

NME Magazine held their annual award show tonight, and it looks like 5 Seconds Of Summer have been graced with the Worst Band title for the third year in a row.

The Australian band beat out the Chainsmokers, Clean Bandit, Honey G, Nickelback and Twenty One Pilots.

Last year, the band took to Twitter poking fun at their accolade.
