Quote from ultraaviolet

Wow I didn’t expect maroon 5 to be doing to well!

Unquestionably the biggest foreign artist in Korea.

Quote from dizzcity

There's a reason why GOT7 and Day6 share a similar name pattern to Maroon 5...

Are you joking or for real?

Quote from Pikachu-Senpai

Wow Korea really loves Maroon 5 lmao here I thought the Beibz was gonna stay on top

I think everyone saw how Peaches did last year and thought he was dominant, but Moves Like Jagger is one of the few songs to have over 5M downloads on Gaon.

Quote from SandyBee3

Hits from 2004, 2011, 2012, 2015, and 2019. Adapted with the times.
