5 Seconds of Summer’s Ashton Irwin is “heartbroken” after a warehouse mix-up resulted in the band’s new album Calm settling for second place on the Billboard 200 chart.

In a video shared to Twitter on Tuesday, the drummer claimed Calm was “robbed” of the top spot this week. “I just want to say I appreciate you contesting and fighting for our number one record in the U.S.,” he said. “We’re left with the number two spot this week and, may I add, that I think it’s absolutely astonishing and incredible that we’re even at the top of those charts in the calibre of artists that are there with us. “Records were released a week early that we had no control over, which is very disappointing.
