Maroon 5's New Studio Album "Jordi" -- By The Numbers

On June 11, 2021, Maroon 5 delighted fans across the globe with the release of their seventh studio album, Jordi -- a tribute to the band's late manager Jordan Feldstein, who passed away in 2017.

While the band's fanbase has been generally receptive of their latest effort, Maroon 5 critics provide mixed reviews at best, scrutinizing the group once again for producing "depthless" pop music, and describing the album as "lackluster" and "forgettable".

Nonetheless, Jordi would quickly garner international success on brand name alone, as Maroon 5 remains one of the most well-known ensembles in the world.

With two months now firmly in the rearview, here's a look at the Spotify play count of all 14 tracks on Jordi's deluxe edition, arranged by popularity.

1. Memories (1,235,564,787 streams)

2. Beautiful Mistakes (244,091,342 streams)

3. Nobody's Love (132,862,809 streams)

4. Lifestyle (95,293,396 streams)

5. Lost (31,675,612 streams)

6. Echo (5,069,202 streams)

7. Can't Leave You Alone (4,976,359 streams)

8. Button (3,831,274 streams) 

9. Remedy (3,619,677 streams)

10. Lovesick (3,597,123 streams)

11. Seasons (3,123,709 streams)

12. Convince Me Otherwise (2,898,644 streams)

13. One Light (2,789,604 streams)

14. Memories (Remix) (1,914,333 streams)

    *updated on 8/8/21*

It is worth noting that the first four tracks on this list received significant airtime prior to Jordi's release date (with 'Memories' dating back to 2019). Furthermore, 'Lost' is the most recent Maroon 5 single to hit the airwaves. Thus, analysis of this list may actually begin with the sixth most popular track.

While the majority of these newer songs maintain similar play counts, it's quite interesting that 'Echo' seems to have taken hold as Jordi's most popular album track. Perhaps empowered by the fact that Maroon 5 and blackbear are about to embark on a tour together (beginning August 10 in Auburn, Washington), this song will be worth consideration if the band looks to release an additional single in the fall. 

In perusing the list, it's also evident that 'Can't Leave You Alone' is a fan-favorite, though its success is likely due in part to a verse from the late Juice WRLD. Conversely, 'Memories (Remix)' seems to have missed the mark, as the additions of Nipsey Hussle and YG (supposedly Jordan Feldstein's favorite rappers) have earned it the title of Jordi's least streamed song on Spotify.

A's Win First Postseason Series Since 2006, Will Face Astros in ALDS

Image
Despite falling to the Chicago White Sox in Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series, the Oakland Athletics rebounded with consecutive wins in Games 2 and 3 to snag their first postseason series victory in 14 years, advancing to the ALDS for the first time since 2013. After digging a 3-0 hole in Thursday's decisive Game 3, Oakland rallied with four runs in the fourth inning to take the lead. However, their biggest hit of the afternoon came in the bottom of the fifth, with the score tied 4-4. In perhaps the most crucial plate appearance of his life, Chad Pinder stepped to the plate with an opportunity to defy history. Prior to this at-bat, Pinder had posted a 2-for-35 career mark with the bases loaded. However, on Thursday, he came up with a massive two-run single to propel the A's to a 6-4 advantage. And they didn't look back. Oakland now looks forward to a best-of-5 series with the Houston Astros to be played on neutral ground at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. Needless to say, th...

Ranking Every Song From Paramore's "After Laughter"

Following the relative success of my rankings of Taylor Swift's " folklore " and Maroon 5's " Red Pill Blues ", I've decided to make these posts a semi-regular occurrence.  As I've followed Paramore religiously for over a decade, this one seemed like the next logical choice. Without further adieu, let's dive into Paramore's 2017 release entitled "After Laughter", an album that saw the band adopt an entirely new sound. 12. No Friend Three years have passed and I still don't fully understand what "No Friend" is, but I'm not convinced it's a rankable song. It sounds more like a dramatic reading of a poem drowned out by one of Paramore's jam sessions. Congrats, Aaron Weiss? In any case, please let me know if there's more I can give you. 11. Idle Worship Perhaps suffering from being linked to "No Friend" in such an inseparable way, something about this track is just a tad unsettling. From its ...

Why Quidditch Is Totally Ridiculous (Yet We Still Love It)

Image
On June 26, 1997,  Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling introduced the world to a remarkable new sport called Quidditch. In theory, Rowling's invention is fairly simple. For those who are unfamiliar with the game, I will provide a brief description of its rules.  Quidditch is played in a 7-on-7 format on flying broomsticks. Each team features three "Chasers" who attempt to throw a large ball (called the Quaffle) past the opposing team's "Keeper" into one of three circular hoops.  Every time the Chasers succeed in beating the Keeper, their team is awarded 10 points. Meanwhile, there are a pair of bat-wielding "Beaters" on each team who add to the chaos by clubbing two smaller balls (called Bludgers) at their opposition. However, the most important position on the field is that of the "Seeker", which is Harry Potter's position on Gryffindor's Quidditch team during his time at Hogwarts.  Each team has one Seeker who scours t...
