Calm (stylised as C A L M, an acronym of the first letters of the band members' names, Calum, Ashton, Luke and Michael[7][8]) is the fourth studio album by Australian pop rock band 5 Seconds of Summer, released on 27 March 2020.[9] The album was a commercial success and received positive reviews from critics who praised the band's lyrical growth and maturity.[10] Due to a shipping error, approximately 11,000 copies of the album were released early in the US, subsequently causing the album to chart a week before it was due.[11][12]
With Calm earning the band their fourth consecutive number one in their home country, 5 Seconds of Summer became the second Australian band in history to have their first four full-length studio albums debut at number one on the ARIA albums chart.[13]
At the ARIA Music Awards of 2020, the album was nominated for Best Group.[14] Billboard magazine named the album as one of The 25 Best Pop Albums of 2020.[15]
