While Maroon 5 is known for several of its peppy numbers, Sugar is undoubtedly the most popular one. It was released as the second single from the band's fifth studio album, V, back in 2015, and has rewritten fortunes for the band in more ways than one. The music video is interesting in that it features the band performing the song at various wedding receptions, while the guests, who are played by actors, react to the band's performance. The meta nature of the video and the catchy tune of the song makes this YouTube video watchable several times in one go. At this rate, Sugar could cross 4 billion views in the next few weeks.
