Since when is Synth-pop exclusively indie? There have been synthpop flavored hits sprinkled throughout the years since about 2007.

It can be synth pop, folk, alt rock, trip hop, ect... Now adays Indie music borrows from all sorts of genres. This particular Maroon 5 song just manages to have alot of ingredients that alot of the indie music I'm listening to right now has. Specifically in the chorus part. Thus , the main reason I like this song.

Maroon 5 cut straight to the chase here - this sounds like a pop song, not like an indie take on pop. My personal opinion is that indie in and of itself is as nebulous a term as pop is (the only real difference to my ears is that indie artists are usually willing to experiment more, and catchy as this song is I can't say it feels all that experimental), and might be better off leaving undefined. But that's just me.

YIKES! After hearing this. It's no wonder why Maroon 5 is being labeled as this decade's Nickelback.

But that's just me. Mainly that the indie artists I'm listeing to and in general are from independent record labels; which was the whole point of Indie when it started. Another aspects the Indie bands that I listen to; is that have a lot of 80s feel to the songs. This Maroon 5 song doesn't have that, but if you can't hear something slightly different in this song(not lyrics) as opposed to something like "Animals" for example, then you're just to used to Maroon 5 songs. IMOP; if Maroon 5 were not a huge Mainstream Pop staple, and because they have covered all sorts of music genres, they would either be charting big on Alt chart or concidered an Indie band. excuse me; an Indie Pop band; which BTW, chart on Alt all the time.

After having all those okay-ish songs smash in a streak their first remarkably good song isn't selling. Awh, god is wrathful, poor things.

The iTunes performance has been rather disappointing for a new Maroon 5 single.

Heard it on my town's radio on the way home from work. Gonna try to find a way to like some part of it.
Oh, and it climbs up to #31 on the Hot 100 this week.

So why isn't the pop crowd liking this song as much as the last 3 singles? I think it's there best since "One More Night"

I expected it to be selling better, but I'm not worried about radio so much. This is the first time they've launched a new single while the previous one was so high I think. They're on the verge of having 2 songs in the top 20 with how many spins Sugar is still getting.

The video hasn't been released right? Why are we worried about the sales at this point?

People are probably thinking something is up with it's sales because it's getting a lot of play at radio??

ITunes is starting to pick up, but not in the expected way.
There are 3 versions of this song in the top 100 (2 uncensored, 1 censored). The highest one (uncensored deluxe) is steady at #36. But, the ones that used to be in the high 130s, 160s have jumped up to 90 and 100.
Too many versions of this song on iTunes, lol.
Also, I wonder why this wasn't on their VEVO account. It's on their regular Youtube account. Maybe they just wanted to put the word "motherf*cker" uncensored in the title, and VEVO might not allow it?

Good video. Was there really a need for Adam to show his ass at the beginning? Not here for that, but the rest of the video was well done. Liked that little concert they did towards the end.
