March 7, 2016

Looks like there's no stopping the 1975. Having released Friday, Feb. 26, I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It, the band's highly anticipated sophomore effort, has debuted No. 1 on Billboard's Top 200 Chart with an 108,000 album equivalent units. I Like It When You Sleep also hit the top of the charts in the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand.

With their success blooming in the US, the 1975 have also announced more tour dates for this June alongside previously announced dates for April/May with Wolf Alice and the Japanese House.

The 1975's breakthrough success was cemented with their self-titled first album, which is certified Gold in the US, debuted at No. 1 on the UK charts and went on to sell one million units worldwide. I Like It When You Sleep was recorded in LA, produced by frontman Matty Healy and drummer George Daniel with production collaborator Mike Crossey and released via Dirty Hit/Interscope.

Upon the release of the new album, the 1975 dropped a massive video for the equally massive single “The Sound.” Check it out and grab physical copies of I Like It When You Sleep now.
