Since their debut, Maroon 5 has won three Grammy Awards out of 10 nominations, 8 Billboard Music Awards out of 40 nominations, three American Music Awards and one MTV Video Music Award. Maroon 5 scored their first number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2007 with their single, “Makes Me Wonder,” from their sophomore album, “It Won’t Be Soon Before Long.” Their third single, “She Will Be Loved,” also peaked at number 5. They scored their first top 10 hit with their next single, “This Love,” which peaked at number 5. The band debuted in 2002 with their first single, “Harder to Breathe,” from their debut album, “Songs About Jane.” The song peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Past members include Ryan Dusick and Mickey Madden. Maroon 5 consists of six members: Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, James Valentine, Matt Flynn, PJ Morton and Sam Farrar.
