Now ruling the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart is The 1975 and their hit album I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It.
What's even more interesting is the fact that the band also set the record for the longest-ever album titled at No. 1.
"That beats the previous record of 59 characters, by LL Cool J's G.O.A.T. Featuring James T. Smith: The Greatest of All Time and the various artists compilation P. Diddy & Bad Boy Present... We Invented the Remix," according to Billboard.
The report also states that Limp Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish and Hot Dog Flavored Water is the next longest title that doesn't contain colons or ellipsis. It's a pretty zany and hilarious record to have but puts the band in the history books.
However, this zany record shouldn't take away from the masterpiece that The 1975 created with I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It.
The album combines the sounds of 80s pop as well as the new electronic fusion with a sprinkle of rock in between. If you want more on the band and the new album check out our review here.
