This record is his second album since his 2007 debut UK number one Hand Built by Robots, which propelled him to stardom with hit singles “Dream Catch Me” and Massive Attack's “Teardrop”. The hotly anticipated album from the flame-haired guitarist was preceded by his Sketches EP, a teaser for the full version, which includes the record’s sublime title-track and first single. - HMV Track Listing 1.

The new album is a rich, pop-infused collection featuring 10 new tracks. The album was executive produced by Max Martin with additional tracks produced by Benny Blanco and Ryan Tedder. Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine said of the release, "'Overexposed' is definitely one of our most diverse and poppiest albums yet. We had a great time recording it". Guitarist James Valentine added, "'Moves Like Jagger' was the first time we ever worked with an outside writer, so we decided to try it some more on this record. At this point in our career I think it was a good thing to completely mix up our process and it yielded good results, as well as a more collaborative spirit within the band. We wanted to make something that sounded contemporary with the elements of a lot of early eras of pop music. This is our most pop record ever and we weren't shy about really going for it." Maroon 5's musicianship and frontman Adam Levine's vocals are as distinct as ever on 'Overexposed', continuing to showcase the band's ability for creating songs that have become part of the pop fabric. Maroon 5 began writing and recording the album during their most recent world tour and the resulting collection is chock-full of undeniable, anthemic melodies. The album includes such stand out tracks as the emphatic single 'Payphone' featuring Wiz Khalifa, the irresistible 'One More Night' and the rythmic ballad 'Beautiful Goodbye.' - HMV Track Listing 1.

It is true that the South African angle (including its controversial aspect during the apartheid days) was a powerful marketing tool and that the catchy music succeeded in presenting listeners with that magical combination: something they'd never heard before that nevertheless sounded familiar. As eclectic as any record Simon had made, it also delved into zydeco and conjunto-flavoured rock & roll while marking a surprising new lyrical approach (presaged on some songs on Hearts and Bones); for the most part, Simon abandoned a linear, narrative approach to his words, instead drawing highly poetic ("Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes"), abstract ("The Boy in the Bubble"), and satiric ("I Know What I Know") portraits of modern life, often charged by striking images and turns of phrase torn from the headlines or overheard in contemporary speech. An enormously successful record, Graceland became the standard against which subequent musical experiments by major artists were measured. - HMV Track Listing 1. The Boy In The Bubble 2. Graceland 3.

July 15, 201214 yr Shame Frank Ocean couldn't quite get to #1, the first download-only #1 album will have to wait a bit longer then. If it's got this high on downloads only though it could be really big when the CD comes out. (Haha, 'comes out'. I'm hilarious). Meh at Newton Faulkner. And ugh at Maroon 5 re-overtaking Lianne :( The View getting another top 10 album after 'Bread And Circuses' only got to #14 is odd. It's probably got a lower first week sale though (doubt it'll even be 10k, can't remember what BAC sold though). Edited July 15, 201214 yr by Bré

July 15, 201214 yr The verses of Don't Wake Me Up are actually okay I've decided, but the chorus is just hideous. Cannot stand that much autotune. Not sure I'd still rank it as the second worst song of the year but it's definitely somewhere in the bottom 10 at least.
