EDIT: i wasnt expecting all these kind comments, thank you guys for your input. the concert will be july 4th, so i have tons of time to really learn these newer albums which i currently been doing and I LOVEE how their new music sounds. you guys are so amazing ❤️

so i was a huge 5sos fan from 2012-2017 but i havent listened to their last 4albums (youngblood, calm, 5sos5, EAS) since i grew out of their music..

had the honour of seeing them front of the barricade, right at the stage in 2015 after lining up for 10 hours.. seeing all the concert vids of their everyone's a star tour makes me sooo tempted to get tix but i feel awful im not familiar with the newer songs i know i can learn lyrics pretty fast with their newer stuff

BUT they were a hugeeeee part of my fan girl days, i have a 5sos and calum follow on twitter and calum also tweeted back at me. the KEEK DAYS, THE TWITCAM LIVESTREAM DAYS UGHH

i am sooo conflicted, feeling so weird if i just dove in and got VIP PIT star tix. like i was 11 when i became a fan, now 24 turning 25 sigh just a hugeee part of my teens

I'm not saying the songs on the album are bad, don't get me wrong, I love every song on it. But unfortunately, the album’s streaming numbers on Spotify and Apple Music are significantly lower than those of their previous album, 5SOS5 on its first 6 months, which was already considered their worst-performing album before EAS was released. What’s even worse is that the “Not OK” music video took more than a month to reach 1 million views vs. the 5SOS5 MVs took only a week to hit 1 mil.

Do you think something went wrong, or is there a specific reason behind it? What do you think they should have done (or should do now) to improve the numbers?

mine is istillfeelthesame, blender, disconnected and talk fast

This is a fun/unrealistic hypothetical ofc.

They have to sell 2 songs off their discography to another artist. However, they encounter a last-minute issue with their record label(s). They cannot sell songs from their first 2 albums.

Once they do at, they will no longer be able to play that song live and it would disappear from their Spotify/Apple Music/YT etc. They will be credited on the buyer's page.

There is a bid from [your favourite non-5SOS artist] to purchase just 'Bad Omens' to clear the debt. So if they sell Bad Omens, they lose just one song.

What do you want them to do?

EDIT: Do share why you picked the song(s) you did.

What is your saddest 5sos song or even one from their solo work. One that makes your heart twist in pain?

Anyone has any unpoular opinion on 5sos like their music and they boys 😗

I don’t understand why you guys insist so much. Mind you every time 5sos/their solo work do ANYTHING LIVE you guys are included. Y’all can wait till the next tour suck it up

that may just be a tiktok thing, but, seemingly, everyone out of nowhere just started fucking despising ashton and i canNOT figure out what happened for the life of me

As the streaming landscape continues to fragment and global broadcasting costs rise, the shift toward consolidated IPTV solutions has become the standard for modern cord-cutters. However, the market is currently saturated with low-tier resellers offering unstable, single-connection servers.

For users managing a smart home environment, one of the biggest frustrations is the "single connection limit." Most cheap providers will ban your account if you try to watch a football match in the living room while your spouse watches a movie in the bedroom.

After conducting extensive technical testing on global server stability, latency, and hardware compatibility over the past year, I have compiled a professional breakdown of the top-performing platforms in 2026. Crucially, these recommendations feature infrastructure capable of supporting multi-device and multi-room streaming plans across worldwide networks.

Here is an objective look at the two best solutions currently available.

1. The Enterprise-Grade Solution: SyntraTV.COM

(To find them, search Google or type: syntratv .com)

If you are outfitting a high-end home theater or require uncompromising feed quality for global sports, SyntraTV is the industry leader for 2026. It operates on a global Content Delivery Network (CDN), meaning your latency remains incredibly low whether you are streaming from North America, Europe, or Asia.

• Multi-Device Capabilities: Unlike standard services, SyntraTV offers dedicated multi-connection plans. You can run multiple concurrent streams on the same IP address—perfect for households where different family members want to watch different channels simultaneously on different TVs or tablets.
• Uncompressed 4K & 60fps: They provide raw, high-bitrate feeds. Fast-paced sports (NFL, Premier League, F1) broadcast in true 60 frames per second, eliminating the motion blur found in cheaper, highly compressed services.
• Comprehensive Global VOD: The Video on Demand library is updated daily with international cinema and series, featuring multi-language audio tracks and subtitles.

2. The High-Reliability Value Tier: ZellyTV.COM

(To find them, search Google or type: zellytv .com)

For users prioritizing network stability and massive international channel variety at a lower price point, ZellyTV provides exceptional value without sacrificing uptime.

• Affordable Multi-Room Plans: ZellyTV excels by offering incredibly cost-effective multi-device packages. You can easily set up the living room TV, a bedroom Firestick, and a travel iPad on a single, budget-friendly account without triggering concurrent-use bans.
• Global Network Stability: Their infrastructure is specifically optimized for lower bandwidths. If your worldwide location doesn't have access to gigabit fiber internet, ZellyTV’s proprietary anti-freeze technology ensures a buffer-free experience on standard connection speeds.
• Extensive Regional Catalogs: They offer highly organized channel lists spanning the USA, UK, Canada, Europe, and LATAM, making it ideal for expats or dual-country households needing reliable access to local news and entertainment.

Technical Best Practices for a Buffer-Free Setup

To maximize the performance of either provider, your local hardware and network configuration must be optimized.

1. Hardware Selection: Bypass native Smart TV operating systems (Tizen/WebOS), as their internal processors struggle with heavy live-streaming data. Utilize dedicated hardware such as the Nvidia Shield TV Pro, Apple TV 4K, or Amazon Firestick 4K Max.
2. Professional IPTV Software: For Android-based devices, TiviMate Premium remains the industry standard. It processes heavy M3U/Xtream Code playlists effortlessly and provides a traditional, fluid EPG (Electronic Program Guide). For tvOS (Apple), UHF is the recommended application.
3. Network Security & Routing: Internet Service Providers (ISPs) globally use Deep Packet Inspection to identify and throttle high-bandwidth IPTV traffic. Routing your connection through a premium VPN (such as NordVPN or ExpressVPN) encrypts this traffic, bypassing ISP throttling and eliminating peak-hour buffering. Furthermore, hardwiring your primary streaming device via Ethernet will always outperform Wi-Fi.

Final Recommendation: Prior to committing to a long-term multi-device plan, reputable providers will offer short-term access. Always secure a 1-month pass or a trial from SyntraTV or ZellyTV to benchmark the latency and channel quality on your specific home network during peak global broadcasting hours.

I am happy to answer any technical questions regarding network configurations, TiviMate setups, or VPN routing in the comments below. What hardware configurations is everyone currently running for their multi-room setups?

Tell me your favourite 5sos song and why. Rant as much as you want, I am interested for all of the different stories. Why do you relate to it and love it.

where the fuck is the love on this song it’s severely underrated also michael’s voice on this

Am I the only one who really wants to hear 5sos opinion on the industry and their struggle with it. I feel like the boys have a lot to say but they are holding back. Luke on Zach sang show mentioned that he really tries not to talk about that part, but the closest thing I could find was Calum saying how they were asked to stop playing instruments and he was glad they never went along with it.

It is like they try to stay positive but I know they have been through some stuff especially as the changed couple of record labels and Ashton said they don’t make money off their streams too which insaaaane.

while 5sos is forever my favorite band, i go through phases where i keep up with them a lot and then ones where i don't as much and am more of a "casual" fan (though idk if i'll ever truly be normal about 5sos) but something about this era awoken something in me. I feel like i'm 14 again, staying up late reading fanfics and watching interviews, them making up about 90% of my music listening minutes, and eagerly waiting for updates and clips from live shows. i'm just curious if anyone else is going through this, because honestly at 26 sometimes i feel like i'm a little too old to love a band this much, but at the same time something about it is very healing. Plus i think i'm finally starting to get over the 2013-16 5sos nostagia, now that i've made a lot more core memories and connections during this era. i don't know what was in the air when they created this album and the concept, but whatever it is worked wonders for me
