Let them get their message across anywhere.ġ9. Angy Rivera and Jackie Fielder: Pretty much the same goes for the immigration activist and the Native American rights activist, respectively. Aly Raisman: She is a damn hero and she deserves every little bit of pop culture fun she gets to have, and people should ask her to have more.Ģ1. Danica Patrick: Officially retired from racing, she seems to be having a lot of fun right now.Ģ2. Ellen DeGeneres: Ellen seems like a perfectly congenial woman who loves fun and probably always dreamed of being in a music video, but no one ever asked before. Judging the British version of The X-Factor? Who else but Rita Ora? Front row at a fashion show? Second row at a fashion show? Some European gala? On the L train next to you? Restaurant opening? Diner opening? Letter opening? Anytime you have to ask, “Hey, is that Rita Ora?” the answer is probably “Girl, you know it is.” As her song goes, “just take me anywhere, take me anywhere,” and she meant it.Ģ4. Acting in the 50 Shades franchise? Sure, why not? On a track with Cardi B, Charli XCX, and Bebe Rexha? Of course she is. Rita Ora: Rita Ora shows up in some pretty surprising places, but, then again, that’s her entire essence. Talk about synergy.) Here, everyone we could identify in the video, from Ellen Degeneres to Gal Gadot, ranked by how surprised we were to see them.Ģ5. (And, frankly, we were kind of surprised that cast didn’t get in on the fun either. Seriously, there’re more famous women in this video than there is in the upcoming Ocean’s 8.
Obviously, the making of this video relied heavily on special effects and green screens to accommodate so many busy schedules, and, yet, every time Adam Levine turned around to reveal a new famous face, we were still surprised by just how many accomplished women agreed to do the video.
It’s sort of the female flip side of Charli XCX’s star-packed “Boys” video from last year, except with empowerment swapped out for tongue-in-cheek objectification and with, arguably, a more famous roster of cameos. Then we were even more shocked when the video for that single, “Girls Like You,” arrived and included a few dozen of the most famous and notable women on earth. If the pop band and Cardi B jump high enough next week, they will tie Ed Sheeran's record, and they have a fair shot at beating it and earning a highly coveted spot in the history books.First, we were sort of shocked to find out that, of all musical artists, Cardi B and Maroon 5 were teaming up for a music video. Since Maroon 5 just headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show a few days ago, sales and streams of all the songs they performed, including "Girls Like You," are surging, and instead of falling even further down the ranking, it's likely that the catchy tune will actually climb once again when the numbers are all tabulated. Back in 2017, the British singer-songwriter's global blockbuster stayed inside the top 10 for 33 weeks.Įven if "Girls Like You" disappears from the Hot 100 next week, Maroon 5 and Cardi B can be proud of how long they were able to keep it afloat.but chances are, it's not going anywhere soon. Only one track, Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You," has earned more time in the region. Both The Chainsmokers and Halsey's "Closer" and LeAnn Rimes' "How Do I Live" also spent 32 weeks inside the Hot 100's top 10, meaning "Girls Like You" is tied for the second-longest stint in the uppermost tier of all time.
