I don't hate them, but I don't enjoy their music. It seems rather bland and boring to me. Basically Maroon 5 is just Rihanna without the killer beats, s-x appeal, and controversy to me. So it annoys me when something so bland tops the charts for so long. Everyone is here talks about how Rihanna doesn't write her own music and Katy Perry sold out with Teenage Dream, but they gloss over the fact that Maroon 5 is part of that group. They sold out to the masses and don't write their music, either.

This board talks about how C'mon isn't doing well because it's just your average song. I find that Locked Out of Heaven by Bruno and One More Night by Maroon 5 are just average songs, too. I mean, there's nothing wrong with them. But compared to many of the other songs that are/were in the top 10 at the time, I don't feel like they deserved such a massive Billboard and Radio reign. There were so many better songs that should have topped the charts instead. LOOF and OMN weren't standouts for me, they were just average. This makes me question as to why they are being treated as stand out pop smashes by the radio and public.

Locked out of heaven>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>........>>>>>>>>>>>>>> C'mon! :grr: But I also agree that most Maroon 5 songs are boring and they are not smthing special. The only song of them that I like is Moves like Jagger tbh!

I like the song, but i think that Will.i.am is a joke! s&s wouldn't become a hit without Britney!

The singles from Maroon 5's first two studio albums, Songs About Jane (2002) and It Won't Be Soon Before Long (2007), are perhaps still their best music material, in terms of coherence and overall direction. In my opinion though, Overexposed is actually relatively an improvement from their 2010 album, Hands All Over, which had Moves Like Jagger as its final single. Same could be said with their respective singles. I'd pick OMN, or even Payphone, over MLJ any day.

Britney may have made S&S reach the peaks that it has (because of her fans automatic support), but I believe it's actually the fact that she's not the main artist that is giving the song its longevity. Her songs never last this long in the top ten on iTunes. Her limited appearance on the song makes it appeal to a wider range of people.

Agreed. And it could also be because the single itself is quite addictive.

Not impressed with either's sales relative to airplay. Daylight may not make Top 5, or if so just barely.

I honestly cannot believe the huge drop S&T's getting... as much as I'm a huge fan of JT. I cannot imagine how he'd do once the new chart is released next week.
