***The B-Side Collection*** is a compilation album by [pop rock](/source/Pop_rock) band [Maroon 5](/source/Maroon_5), released on December 18, 2007.

The album peaked at number 51 in the U.S. [*Billboard* 200](/source/Billboard_200) in its first week of release.[1]

## Background

### Production

[Maroon 5](/source/Maroon_5) recorded over a dozen songs for their second studio album *It Won't Be Soon Before Long*. After finalizing the final track listing of the album, many songs were left out, including favorites of lead singer [Adam Levine](/source/Adam_Levine).[2] While promoting the album in the [United States](/source/United_States) and [Mexico](/source/Mexico) the group decided to release seven of the unreleased tracks to the public.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] Label [A&M/Octone](/source/A%26M%2FOctone) spoke with [Levine](/source/Adam_Levine) about releasing a deluxe version of *[It Won't Be Soon Before Long](/source/It_Won't_Be_Soon_Before_Long)* since sales were positive at that time. The studio had many meetings with [iTunes](/source/ITunes) and by the final week of November they decided to release seven tracks cut from *It Won't Be Soon Before Long*.

### Release and promotion

The album was heavily promoted on the [iTunes Store](/source/ITunes_Store) and official Apple website. The entire album was streamed on [Apple Inc.](/source/Apple_Inc.)'s website, beginning on December 12, 2007, a week before the album's North American release date.

After the main promotion for *It Won't Be Soon Before Long* and its singles, Maroon 5 released a music video for the track "[Story](/source/Maroon_5_videography)" in 2009. The video was directed by Bob Carmichael and was mainly released to raise awareness for the [Harlem Children's Zone](/source/Harlem_Children's_Zone). The music video is mainly an animated slideshow of Maroon 5 during the [It Won't Be Soon Before Long Tour](/source/It_Won't_Be_Soon_Before_Long_Tour) and its various stops.[3] The video won for the 31st annual of People's Telly Awards in 2010.[4][5]

## Album performance

This is the second album released exclusively on [iTunes](/source/ITunes) by Maroon 5, the first one was the *Limited Set (iTunes Exclusive)* which was removed from the iTunes Store in early 2004. *The B-Side Collection* has been well received by both critics and fans, the album peaked at number 51 at the [*Billboard* 200](/source/Billboard_200) and is a huge success on the iTunes Stores, on its first day of release the album went from number 96 to 6 on the American iTunes Store, and at the Canadian store it went from 56 to 19.
