The album was the band’s first since After Laughter was released in May 2017; it debuted and peaked at No. 6. The group’s last album to go higher was its self-titled 2013 release, which debuted at No. 1 on the April 27, 2013-dated list.

The iHeartRadio ALTer EGO show will take place on Saturday (Jan. 13) at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
