This Pop Rock Song About Mick Jagger Surged to No. 1 - And Still Gets Played Today
These days, Adam Levine can be spotted in a cozy chair as a returning coach for The Voice.
His pop rock band Maroon 5 is also keeping busy after all these years, continuing to churn out new tunes such as "Heroine," released last month.
But Sunday, June 21 marks exactly 15 years since one of their biggest hits dropped, with both a chorus and a title that shout out a current rock god.
"Moves Like Jagger" surged to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart back in 2011 and was nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 54th Grammy Awards (since it features Christina Aguilera). For a refresher, check out the lively music video below, which features vintage footage of Mick Jagger and his iconic dance moves.
As fans will recall, the lyrics refer to a guy's ability to impress a female with his dance moves, which he compares to those of Jagger, 82.
The song marked Maroon 5's second Hot 100 No. 1, Billboard noted back in 2011. The band previously reigned for three weeks in 2007 with "Makes Me Wonder."
For Aguilera, 45, the return to the Billboard chart's apex ended a long hiatus, given that she had last ruled alongside Lil' Kim, Mya and P!nk on "Lady Marmalade" for five weeks in 2001. "Moves Like Jagger" was Aguilera's fifth Hot 100 No. 1. She banked three leaders from her self-titled debut album in 1999-2000:
- "Genie in a Bottle"
- "What a Girl Wants"
- "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)"
Levine, 47, made headlines in April when he and his wife, Behati Prinsloo, walked the red carpet at the 12th Breakthrough Prize Ceremony at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. The couple posed for photos, which were eventually posted on the internet. It didn't take long for fans to react to said photos, with many pointing out that Levine, 47, had a different look about him. Find out more here.
