Making a Name with "Songs About Jane"
Maroon 5 is a band anchored by frontman Adam Levine (vocals). It made its name in 2002 when its studio album "Songs About Jane" reached No. 6 on the "Billboard 200," and it created a stir with an original, refined sound blending rock and R&B.
Over the past 20-plus years, Maroon 5 has enjoyed huge popularity, placing "Makes Me Wonder," "Moves Like Jagger," "One More Night," and "Girls Like You" at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard main singles chart, the "Hot 100." Among these, "One More Night" took the No. 1 spot on the "Hot 100" in 2012, edging out PSY's mega-hit "Gangnam Style."
A Record of 100 Million Sales and 34 Billion Streams
Maroon 5 has sold over 110 million albums to date. On Spotify, it has recorded more than 34 billion cumulative streams, with 12 songs each surpassing 1 billion streams. It has also earned recognition for its artistry, with 13 nominations and 3 wins at the "Grammy Awards." Based on such achievements, the U.S. music magazine Billboard named the band the "Greatest Band of the 21st Century" and No. 11 among the "Greatest Artists of the 21st Century."
An Eighth Studio Album That Drew Buzz with Lisa's Feature
Last year, Maroon 5 released its eighth studio album "Love Is Like" and took on a new musical style. The album track "Priceless" drew attention with a feature from BLACKPINK's Lisa. Anticipation is gathering among fans over what kind of live show Maroon 5 will deliver on the stage of its return after about three years.
