By spring of that year, J Records/RCA Records Group joined the campaign full throttle, helping Maroon5 cross over to adult top 40 and later top 40 radio and reach the major chains and big-box retailers.
During Maroon5's rise, Octone's label partner, J Records, and distributor, BMG, endured mergers and consolidations that could have slowed the band's momentum.
