Who's the biggest again ? I mean if you want to cherry-pick facts I could mention that while Linkin Park has sold 70 million albums worldwide, Maroon 5 has sold 75 million. Both are extremely impressive. Linkin Park has two grammy's, Maroon 5 has three. So, we can find whatever numbers we want to support our argument but my statement stands.

Is it because of that stupid tweet Adam Levine aimed at Gaga a while back? Grow tf up you guys Like you guys know their songs consistently go #1 on iTunes, right? they don't need Cardi-Come-Lately to be successful There's a reason for that: 1. The don't have a solid artistry (After all, Adam Levine said he was not an artist), so they just do what is trendy and whatever the soccermoms buy (The sound of the albums, the Pokemon thing). The concept of the band Maroon 5 died a long time ago. 2. If it weren't for the Cardi collab and the cameos of the video, the song would be irrelevant rn. They depend on collabs these days (Kendrick, SZA, Future) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are truly unstoppable. I'm not a huge fan but it's undeniable. They are probably the biggest band so far this century. They've flopped in their last era let's not. Cardi def. saved them here. Let's not x2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hates her, and never apologized for it, so yeah that'll remain the first thing that comes up whenever I hear their bands name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They depend on collabs these days (Kendrick, SZA, Future) 1. That's all fine and good, but I never said they were great artists, I just said they were really successful. Everything you said proves my point about that But the fact that you related it back to "artistry" leads me to believe that people really are still salty about the "art police" nonsense. Looking in the original thread about the Girls Like You mv, people on this site are, like, reeeeeally butthurt about Adam Levine. Surely you can acknowledge that. 2. Looking at the data, their collabs the past couple years didn't even chart as high as their major singles before that (Animals and Sugar for example, both released about 3 years ago) so I'm not sure we can conclude that collabs are even helping their charting. Personally I think there are a lot of people here who WISH Gaga collabed with another big artist and released an attention-grabbing video - and I think they're projecting their envy as derision.

Grow tf up you guys Like you guys know their songs consistently go #1 on iTunes, right? they don't need Cardi-Come-Lately to be successful I DO NOT like Maroon 5, but i will tell you, singles wise, you are correct. My singles performances illustrate that. Maroon 5 had had a bit of a decline (for their standards) since "Sugar" However, they were so major before that it doesn't matter. Their biggest competition singles wise when it comes to groups (this century) is The Black Eyed Peas.

But lately, it's only been Adam Levine and the producers. I won't take away from them the good music they did with Songs About Jane, when they were still a band. But I just don't like arrogant Adam Levine and his attitude when they haven't delivered good music in more than a decade. Sorry Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga's debut album sold more than all their albums combined and Linkin Park outsold them ×10000 nothing to be pressed out about just pointing out your delusion.
