AJR is an American indie pop band founded by brothers Adam, Jack, and Ryan Met, collectively a trio of vocalists, multi-instrumentalists, and songwriters.[1][2] The brothers grew up in New York City, primarily focused on busking there and singing covers until their breakthrough as a boy band. The trio have been writing and performing music together since 2005.[3][4] As of 2024, they have produced and released five studio albums under the independent label AJR Productions to various record labels.[lower-alpha 1]

The trio broke out with their song "I'm Ready". The song yielded their first Platinum in Australia and also served as a lead single to their debut album, Living Room (2015).[10] Their second album, The Click (2017), achieved one million album sales in America, making it AJR's first and only Platinum album; its singles "Weak" and "Burn the House Down" received triple and double Platinum (RIAA), respectively. Their co-written single on the album, "Sober Up" (featuring Rivers Cuomo), was certified single Platinum and reached number one on Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart.[11][12][13] AJR continued to build audience with a world tour, supported by their first Billboard 200 top-ten and third studio album, Neotheater (2019).[14][15] Two years later, a Billboard Music Award was granted to AJR's first and only Hot 100 top-ten single "Bang!", which was a double Platinum single from their second Billboard 200 top-ten and fourth studio album, OK Orchestra (2021).[16][17][18] Prior to their fifth album, The Maybe Man (2023), AJR had over eleven million US digital single sales, which accounted for the five aforementioned songs, "100 Bad Days", and "Way Less Sad".[19][13]

Life and career

2005–2012: Street performing and early life

Your early covers were kind of what inspired me to get into making covers on my own ... your "Ho Hey" cover ... that was like one of the covers I saw that made me want to put out covers.

—Mendes

AJR, originally known as TB³,[lower-alpha 2] began street performing in the parks of New York City on July 9, 2005.[21][22] Prior to releasing original music, they posted covers of popular songs onto YouTube, under the username of AJRbrothers. Their cover of "Ho Hey" by the Lumineers inspired pop singer Shawn Mendes, as Jack revealed on the Zach Sang Show in 2017.[23]

AJR self-released several limited edition of music projects mainly in CD format before 2013, including Born & Bred, Venture, and an eponymous EP.[24][25]

2012–2013: Breakthrough with "I'm Ready"

In November 2012, Ryan tweeted a link to a video of their debut single, "I'm Ready", to about 80 celebrities, including Australian singer Sia.[26][27][28] Sia told her manager about the song, and he contacted Steve Greenberg, former president of Columbia Records and current CEO and founder of S-Curve Records, who now acts as their manager.[29][8] "I'm Ready", which features a sample of SpongeBob SquarePants repeatedly singing his catchphrase "I'm ready" from the eponymous animated series' premiere episode, was commercially released on August 22, 2013.[30][31][32][33] The song was placed in regular rotation on Sirius XM Radio's Top 20 on 20 and Hits 1 stations,[29] and they performed the song on Good Day New York and VH1's Big Morning Buzz.[34] The official music video for "I'm Ready" premiered on VEVO on October 15, 2013.[35] It was certified Platinum in America and three times Platinum in Australia for a sum of one million and two hundred ten thousand sales.[36][37]

2013–2016: Living Room and EPs

AJR released their EP, 6foot1, on December 20, 2013,[38] later being re-released as I'm Ready - EP via Warner Music Group on March 25, 2014. They were named Clear Channel's "Artist on the Rise" for the month of October 2013. By 2014, the band was named iHeartRadio's Artist of the Month for Top 40 in January,[39] and a Myspace "One to Watch" in February,[40]

The band's EP, Infinity, was released on September 23, 2014. It contains 5 tracks, including the lead single "Infinity". A lyric video directed and produced primarily by AJR was released for the single.[41] The EP was released instead of their debut album, Living Room, which was pushed back to a release date of March 3, 2015. The band expressed the delay in their debut album was because they wanted to add some of their newer music to the project.[42] On October 23, 2015, they released the bonus track "Let the Games Begin".[43]

The brothers released their EP, titled What Everyone's Thinking, on September 16, 2016, which features the singles "I'm Not Famous" and "Weak".[44]

"Weak" has been certified Platinum in America, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, and Netherlands. It generated over 650 million streams on Spotify as of 2022.[45]

2017–2018: The Click

Their second studio album, The Click, was released on June 9, 2017, including the singles "Weak", "Drama", and "Sober Up" (featuring Rivers Cuomo). The featured single was both AJR and his first chart-topping song co-written by them;[46] atop Billboard's Alternative Airplay chart for two weeks in 2018, apart from his band Weezer.[47] The album, on the AJR Productions label, was released by BMG in the US, Ultra Records in Canada, Liberator Records in Australia/New Zealand, and Black Butter Records in the rest of the world, as were AJR's next two albums.

An extended version of The Click was released on September 21, 2018. The Click (Deluxe Edition) included new tracks such as "Role Models", "Normal" and "Burn the House Down", the latter which the band released in March 2018 as a single and reached number two on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart.[49] Also included was "Pretender – Acoustic", an acoustic version of "Pretender", which was a collaboration between AJR, EDM artist Steve Aoki and American rapper Lil Yachty.[50]
