Maroon 5's Chart Failure

Maroon 5 may be globally successful now, but their first album The Fourth World was a spectacular flop when it was released in 1997.

The This Love stars, who were in a band called Kara's Flowers at the time, were crushed by the chart disaster, after being assured by their label, Warner Brothers they would be a massive hit.

Lead singer Adam Levine recalls, "It was a huge disappointment. We expected a lot.

"They pumped us full of so much cr*p, like, 'You guys are going to be huge. Here's some money.'

"We were like, 'Ok, cool. Eighteen, sweet. No college, kick a*s.'

"We did it and failed; it was a rude awakening. It really humbled us very quickly."
