The Aussie group scores their second No. 1 album with 'Sounds Good Feels Good' while the country singer collects her fifth top 2 effort with 'Storyteller'.

AceShowbiz - 5 Seconds of Summer's "Sounds Good Feels Good" has officially landed at No. 1 on Billboard 200. According to Nielsen Music, the group's sophomore album collected 192,000 equivalent album units in its first week. That figure includes 179,000 in pure album sales.

This is 5SOS' second full-length release to top the chart. They scored their first No. 1 record with their self-titled debut set that came out last year. Billboard notes that the Aussie four-piece becomes the only band, not vocal group, to have their first two albums debuted at the top slot.

Next on this week's Billboard 200 is Carrie Underwood's fifth studio effort, "Storyteller", which arrives at No. 2 with 177,000 units, including 164,000 traditional album sales. After dropping "Some Hearts" that debuted No. 2 in 2005 as well as 2007's "Carnival Ride", 2009's "Play On" and 2012's "Blown Away" that all reached the No. 1 spot, the "American Idol" alum now becomes the only country artist to see their first five albums peaking at the chart's top 2.

Behind the two newcomers is former first placer The Weeknd's "Beauty Behind the Madness" which stays at No. 3 with another 55,000 units. Fetty Wap's self-titled debut album follows at No. 4, rising from last week's No. 5 with 42,000.

Blake Shelton closes out the top 5 as his "Reloaded: 20 #1 Hits" compilation starts with 40,000 units. Marking the country singer's second greatest hits record, it features all 20 of his No. 1 hits on the Billboard Country Airplay chart and one new single called "Gonna".

At No. 6, Drake and Future's joint mixtape "What a Time to Be Alive" rises from last week's No. 8 with 34,000. Also jumping two rungs is Taylor Swift's "1989" that's now sitting at No. 7 with 34,000. Last week's No. 1, Pentatonix's self-titled LP, drops to No. 8 with 32,000.

The last spots in the top 10 belong to Selena Gomez's "Revival" which dips two rungs to No. 9 with 31,000 and Andrea Bocelli's "Cinema" that debuts at No. 10 with 30,000.
