    Maroon 5 and Cardi B ‘s cameo-stuffed 2018 video for “Girls Like You (Volume 2)” has reached the billion views mark on YouTube. The female empowerment anthem and fifth single from the band’s fifth album, 2017’s Red Pill Blues , got a bonus-edition visual in May 2018 with Cardi slotted-in midway through for a verse about her her come up from stripper to world-beating rap superstar.

    The ascension to the billie club for the Vol. 2 version of the tune marks the fifth time both M5 and Cardi have landed billion view music videos on YouTube.

    The original video for Billboard Music Award-winning song — which spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and 33 weeks in the top 10 — has racked up more than 3.6 billion views to date. That David Dobkin-directed clip found the camera swinging in a circle around M5 singer Adam Levine as a series of famous female singers, comedians, athletes, activists, politicians, actresses and models materialized behind the vocalist and danced along to the bouncy pop tune.

    Among the stars popping in were: Camilla Cabello, Phoebe Robinson, Aly Raisman, Sarah Silverman, Gal Gadot, Lilly Singh, Amani al-Khatahtbeh, Trace Lysette, Tiffany Haddish, Angy Rivera, Franchesca Ramsey, Millie Bobby Brown, Ellen DeGeneres, Jennifer Lopez, Chloe Kim, Alex Morgan, Mary J. Blige, Beanie Feldstein, Jackie Fielder, Danica Patrick, Ilhan Omar, Elizabeth Banks, Ashley Graham and Rita Ora, as well as Levine’s wife, model Behati Prinsloo and their daughter, Dusty Rose.

    In addition to dancing and lip synching along to the tune, a number of the women in the clip rock message T-shirts with pointed social messages, including immigration activist Rivera’s “Undocumented Unafraid Unapologetic” one, as well as U.S. gymnast Raisman’s “Always Speak You Truth” shirt and activist Fielder’s “Divest, Water Is Life” top.
