V Album by Maroon 5

V (Roman numeral for five) is the fifth studio album by American pop rock band Maroon 5. It was released on September 2, 2014, by Interscope Records. V was Maroon 5's first album to be released through Interscope after the band's previous label, A&M Octone Records, transferred them along with most of its artists to Interscope. The album also saw the return of keyboardist Jesse Carmichael after his absence from recording, touring and promoting Overexposed (2012). V debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling 164,000 copies in the first week. The album produced three singles, "Maps", "Animals", and "Sugar", peaking at number 6, number 3, and number 2 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, respectively. Another single, "This Summer's Gonna Hurt like a Motherfucker", was released on May 15, 2015.
