Maroon 5 is at the top of the music-sphere

by Roberta on June 1st, 2007

With their new album, “It won’t be soon before long”, Maroon 5 has managed to edge their way to the top of the music charts:

Album has been driven by hit single “Makes Me Wonder,” which made the biggest leap to No. 1 in the history of the singles chart, raising from No. 64 thanks to 243,000 downloads sold. Maroon 5 appeared on “Saturday Night Live” and “The Tonight Show” a week prior to the disc’s release and is performing in small clubs in the U.S. prior to setting up a full tour.

They also performed “Makes Me Wonder” on the American Idol finale show. I didn’t really care for that performance, it just sounded ultra-crappy. I like Maroon 5, in small doses, though. I don’t think this album is as good as “Songs About Jane”, but we’ll take it. The album performance is much better.

I would’ve really loved for the judges to give their commentary on this one.

Update: The studio version of this song kinda grows on you…like a fungus.
