So, who topped Billboard's top picks for Best Music Videos of 2020? None other than Harry Styles's 'Watermelon Sugar.'

The music video was released on May 18, although it was filmed in Malibu, California before the lockdown happened. Hence, the lack of social distancing between Harry and the models featured in it and the note that precedes the video which says, "This video is dedicated to touching: May 18, 2020."

Billboard explained why it was their top pick for the Best Music Videos of 2020.

“…"Sugar" could've easily struck a sour note. But the tactile joy of the sun-soaked Bradley & Pablo video instead was so infectious that it felt not like a boast but an invitation -- an irresistible wish-you-were-here postcard from a happier place and time, and a reminder that it was worth doing what was needed to get back to it someday.

“Clearly, a nerve was touched: propelled by its video's instant virality, "Watermelon Sugar" eventually oozed its way to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 -- a high that neither Styles solo nor even his old group One Direction had ever tasted before.”

Moreover, the music video became a trending topic on Twitter and on YouTube when it premiered partly because of the outrageous retro outfits that Harry rocked in it.
