The British alternative rock band The 1975 have shown signs of an upcoming success with their second studio album ‘I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It’ and from the looks of it look like they will be getting their first US No.1 album, beating Macklemore in the process.

The band released their second record on the February 26th after the success of their debut self-titled album in 2013. Naturally their new album is already on it’s way to the top of the chart in the UK with their extremely huge UK fan base who eagerly anticipated new material from the band for 3 years.

According to a report from Billboard, The 1975 are expected to reach Number One in the States, beating Macklemore & Ryan Lewis to the top spot with an estimated 100,000 equivalent album units expected to sell in comparison to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis who are expected to reach the 50,000 unit mark with ‘This Unruly Mess I’ve Made.

This is a dramatic improvement for the rising band in the US scene as their debut album peaked at Number 28 upon its release in 2013 however with their second studio album, four singles from the long-titled second studio album have already reached the Top 20 in America including ‘Love Me’, ‘Ugh!’, ‘The Sound’ and ‘Somebody Else’).

Aside from their success in the US charts, they have also performed twice on US TV in recent months, firstly appearing on Saturday Night Live and then on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show.

In an interview with NME, frontman Matt Healy admitted that he believes “the world needs” the band’s new album.

I’m challenging people to sit through an hour and 15 minutes and 17 songs that all sound completely different from each other, it’s quite an emotional investment. It’s art. It’s what I want to do. The world needs this album.
