When I first heard this on the radio, I thought it was interesting but wasn't sure if it sounded like single material. After a few listens, though, this wormed its way into my head very quickly; I've probably played this 30 times today. I'm rooting for this to do well.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned in this thread that the video has got 30+ million views in just 3 days on YouTube and 27+ million on Vevo, but I don't know how many of those are cross views.

The like to dislike ratio is significantly different. Katy Perry was ruining people's birthdays, whether staged or not, and Maroon 5 is making great memories off the bat, whether staged or not as well. Plus her video was 8 minutes. Nobody wants to sit through that anti-climactic sh!t.

Maroon 5 has been playing the "controversy card" in every single video this era.
And, it's been working like a charm.

Nobody wants to sit through that anti-climactic sh!t. Yes - even if staged, this is a FEEL GOOD video, Birthday had this snark to it and it would worked so much better if they made a 4-minute version available. Honestly even that would have been a stretch. After the underwhelming response to Maps, M5 really turned it around.

Maps is still in the top 100 on iTunes (currently 74) and went to number 2 on Pop.
The only people who were "underwhelmed" by Maps were people on this board.

I think sometimes it's a question of expectations. Maps was big (not only in the USA) some people think for a Maroon 5 first single it wasn't enough, and yes, here the song has mixed reactions from the minute one. But maybe he is not talking about the song performance but the video which is shocking and quite depressing. Animal is creepy but in some kind of weird sexy way. So a feel good video is the best thing they could do. And of course is staged, at least at some level. They needed at least to be in contact with some family or friends of the couple, because i doubt people will react well if they crash their wedding (not when they start to sing, i'm pretty sure most people will be more than happy to have them playing at their wedding, but the moments before that)

I think "Maps" is best of the three singles, and the second best on the album (behind "It Was Always You"). ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maps was a good song. I just feel like it dropped quickly after peaking. It feels like it just didn't have the same impact that Payphone did (and even then OMN overtook it). Animals was huge though and Sugar looks like it might even out do Animals even though Adam Levine apparently listens to too much Katy Perry

I didn't mention any specific song bc I've seen it done with several songs over the ten years I've been visiting this board. You brought up "STF". Please find a hobby if you are this bored with your life that you are looking to instigate people on an internet message board.

I just wanted to make sure we weren't bringing up that discussion again. Anyways, have a nice day. :)

Kinda annoying to see this smashing like this tbh. It's really boring and bland. I can't believe this might be bigger than Maps, which was a million times more memorable. I think Animals gave them a lot of momentum, and now of course this has a viral video to help.

Maybe they should have named this "Salt" instead of "Sugar"...

It's holding on strong at number 3 on iTunes. Seems like the public is digging this one. Sorry guys. :)

I saw about a 30 second clip on the Today show of the video and could tell instantly that it was fake. No interest in this song or video, but will go listen to IWAY and brood

One of my least favorite Maroon 5 single since "Love Somebody". I liked "Maps" and "Animals" both were very good songs. This song not so much and the video isn't that great either.
