This is the discography of American rock band Maroon 5. The band has released two studio albums, two live albums, seven singles, nine music videos, and one DVD.

Maroon 5 originally formed in 1995 as Kara's Flowers. With a line-up of Adam Levine (lead lead vocals/guitar), Jesse Carmichael (guitar), Mickey Madden (bass) and Ryan Dusick (drums), they signed to Reprise Records and released an album The Fourth World in 1997, which failed to sell well commercially. The band left their record label in order to explore other musical styles. James Valentine joined the group in 2001 and the band adopted the name Maroon 5.[1]

Maroon 5 signed with Octone Records and recorded Songs About Jane in 2002. Their debut single "Harder to Breathe", released in 2003, slowly gained airplay, which helped propel the album into the top 20 of the Billboard 200. Their second and third singles, "This Love" and "She Will Be Loved", were worldwide hits in 2004, both reaching #1 in the United World Chart.

In 2004, the band released 1.22.03.Acoustic, a short live album containing acoustic versions of a few songs on their album Songs About Jane, as well as two cover versions, The Beatles' "If I Fell" and AC/DC's "Highway to Hell". The following year, the band released Live - Friday the 13th, a live album and DVD of their performances in Santa Barbara, California.

Ryan Dusick was replaced by Matt Flynn as the drummer of the band in 2006.[2] They recorded their second album It Won't Be Soon Before Long in early 2007. The music in the album was inspired by artists of the 1980s including Prince, Michael Jackson, Shabba Ranks and Talking Heads.[3] The album's first single "Makes Me Wonder" became the band's first #1 single in the Billboard 100 and had major success worldwide, also reaching #1 in the United World Chart. The album, released on May 22, 2007, broke the record for the most iTunes sales in its first week of release, with over 101,000 copies sold.[4]
