Paramore React To 'Bananas' Achievements 'This Is Why' Has Already Made

Paramore released their sixth studio album (first in five years) on February 10, and needless to say fans are here for their new era! As the band pointed out on Instagram, This Is Why is the "#1 Alternative Album, #1 Rock Album, #1 Album Sales, #1 Vinyl Album, #1 Digital Album, [and] #2 Billboard 200" in its debut week, which is an extremely impressive feat.

"How did we get here???????????" they captioned the post. "This is bananas. We know enough by now to know success doesn’t equal value. That being said, to experience the #1’s (and a #2 between @sza and @taylorswift) on this album, as this version of Paramore, is such a sweet and surreal moment to celebrate together. Thank you for loving the band as much as we do."

Paramore plan to embark on a massive tour in May that includes a show with Taylor Swift. Check out a full list of dates below.
