Well first of all thereās 7 band members, not 5. Thatās not why I donāt trust them, I just think itās weird.
Now getting to the point, do you know how many top 100 hits Maroon 5 has had? A lot. Theyāre even on billboards top 100 artists of all time (ALL TIME). And itās understandable, because pretty much every song they put out is fucking awesome. Sugar, Donāt Wanna Know, Moves Like Jagger, Payphone, This Love, She Will Be Loved, Cold, Animals, Maps, Misery, Harder to Breathe, Never Gonna Leave This Bedā¦ to name a FEW.
These shitheads have been popping out jams since I was a little kid. Well over a decade worth of killer music. Every other song I hear on the radio is Maroon 5. Itās always Maroon 5. And I fucking love it. I love all their songs. Everyone does, theyāre awesome.
But hereās the thing. Theyāre never the top selling artists. On the top 100 list, theyāre only in the 40s. They very rarely have a number 1 hit. Theyāre considered good, I supposeā¦.. but not great. Not the best.
How many people have you heard say Maroon 5 is their favorite band? For me itās zero. For many of you, itās zero. If youāre thinking to yourself āwhat? No I love them, theyāre my fave!ā Are you sure? Are you really sure? Theyāre your absolute complete FAVORITE band ever??? I doubt it. Youāre just saying that because the band is on your mind now. If I asked you your fave band any other time youād come up with another answer. Everyone always does.
But they SHOULD be everyone favorites. Look at all of those songs. Theyāve got so many top hits. Everyone loves their music. Everyone sings along and knows the songs. They should be my favorite band, I think I like more of their songs than of my actual favorite artist. But they are not my favorite. They are no ones favorite.
I think they made a deal with someone. Satan? God? A dude down an alleyway? Who knows. But I believe they made a deal to ensure everyone would love their music. And we do. Itās great music.
But the twist is that theyāll never truly be recognized as one of the best. Sure, their songs will play on the radio and everyone will sing along. Theyāll have sold out concerts. Plenty of fans. But not enough. Theyāll be just good. Never great. Never the best. Even if they should be our favorite, they never will be. Theyāll never sell enough albums or have their songs reach as high on the billboards as they should. Everyone loves their music, per the agreement. But no one loves them.
I hope Adam Levine knows Iām on to him. I know what he did.
