Speaking of awful collab single ideas that should not be happening but are anyway, this BS came to light yesterday: Wouldnβt be surprised if we saw a M5 and Doja collab in the future now. Theyβre basically doing the girls like you formula all over again |

It's not like M5 are forcing rappers to collaborate with them.

I was never a big Maroon 5 fan or anything, though I'm even less so starting with the direction the band went in with "Moves Like Jagger" (I didn't mind "Sugar," though). Nonetheless, the act obviously has a fan base, which has helped it become the most successful group at top 40 radio in modern times (and since 1973, when Radio & Records started, just going by some "most" stats).

Iβm genuinely curious if they have a legitimate fan base or if people are simply alright with their songs on the radio. As much as we complain, I do think their story as hitmakers is quite fascinating. |

As driver's license keeps falling, the next #1 (excluding new debuts) in 3 weeks seems like it will go to either up due to it's stable streaming and building airplay or blinding lights, as it's losing points at a slow rate every week. If olivia performs DL at the grammys, a #1 rebound seems visibly clear, although rumors are swirling of cardi performing wap/up at the grammys as well. Lets see what happens!

I don't see driver's license's streams dipping below Blinding Lights within the next three weeks. Not to mention she's pretty neck-and-neck with sales and is on her way to having a substantial gap in radio. Despite what people may want, I really do not think Blinding Lights will return to number 1 in its run. If it was going to do it, it would have been Super Bowl week and obviously that didn't happen. |

And they collaborated with girls before Cardi B on Moves Like Jagger and What Lovers Do. I stated girls like you because it had cardi b on it, and it became their biggest hit since sugar. Now this new song will have megan on it, so this formula iβm talking about is have a female rapper or r&b singer on your song, and it will be a smash. And also I completely forgot the TDE crew (Kendrick/SZA) probably being held hostage at Adam Levineβs basement at his mansion. |

If recent history proves the rule, radio will keep "drivers license" in the top 10 for months. It's now top 10 at Hot AC and we know that format won't let go quickly.

Just not as big as pop musicians of similar stature. |

I think it's a bit unreal to expect DL to fall below BL so quickly. DL is doing almost double the streams and BL has nowhere to go but down (even if very slowly, as it has done so far). It's radio numbers are falling down to earth finally too.

It would've been a huge hit without Cardi B too. |

Their "V" tour played to over 1.4 Million people 98% capacity WW according to Wiki and that was only the dates that were listed. The following tour's attendance was over 435,000 96% capacity but many dates said N/A. In Boston their playing Fenway Park in the summer of 2021 and that holds 40-50,000 for concerts I believe. So they have a touring fanbase. |

Plus those collaborations benefit both acts, if it weren't for M5, many people wouldn't have known SZA or checked her album out. So those type of collabs expose rappers to a whole new audience, which might earn them new fans by checking out their music. |

Of course they donβt force people to be in songs with them |

So those type of collabs expose rappers to a whole new audience, which might earn them new fans by checking out their music. I'm with you on this. I doubt any artists were ever forced to work with Adam & Co.; they were probably asked to just like any other gig, and they do it because it pays bank and exposes their style (if watered down) to a wider audience, even if AC/Hot AC stations cut their verses entirely. And you're right that a lot of the artists who did collaborate with Adam & Co. did see even more success soon afterwards. Wiz Khalifa got another #1 three years after his Maroon 5 collab with See You Again, Kendrick got a solo #1 and became a hip-hop superstar in 2017, Future got a solo top 5 not long after Cold came out, SZA got her first top 10 as a lead (or co-lead) artist with All The Stars, and despite a rougher 2019, Cardi got another #1 as a lead artist last year with WAP. So contrary to what many may believe, Maroon 5 collaborations are NOT where rap careers go to die soon after. (If you want that, see what happened to MC Hammer, Tag Team, and even Migos soon after they each made theme songs for the Addams Family movies.) I guess more of my disappointment comes with Adam & Co. continuing to sand down their strengths and ride trends into the sunset. I don't blame anyone who isn't sick of them yet, but I certainly am. |
