The hype surrounding the track’s release and subsequent video has been massive, and it’s propelled the latter to hit the most views in 24 hours record on YouTube. Before the 24 hour limit was up, “thank u, next” had already smashed the previous records of Taylor Swift and BTS – who took the top spot with “Idol” back in August – and, at the time of writing, is sitting at just under 70 million. The track broke a similar record on Vevo (also previously held by BTS) with over 50 million views. p.s. we set a new @vevo record. that's wild. i love u. thank u.— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) December 1, 2018 According to a YouTube Twitter post, the clamour to watch the singer’s new video in its first day even “broke the internet”, causing delays with posting comments. @ArianaGrande the thank u, next video was so good, it broke the internet (or at least delayed YouTube comments from posting for a bit).Comments are still working on the video, they're just delayed! https://t.co/osq64npfpt— Team YouTube (@TeamYouTube) November 30, 2018Expand your creative community and connect with 15,000 creatives from around the world.READ MOREBloodz Boi: The humble godfather of Chinese underground rapA rare interview with POiSON GiRL FRiEND, dream pop’s future seerNigeria’s Blaqbonez is rapping to ‘beat his high score’Inside Erika de Casier’s shimmering R&B universe ‘Rap saved my life’: A hazy conversation with MIKE and Earl Sweatshirt7 essential albums by the SoulquariansIs AI really the future of music?The KPop Demon Hunters directors on fan theories and a potential sequelplaybody: The club night bringing connection back to the dancefloorAn interview with IC3PEAK, the band Putin couldn’t silenceFrost Children answer the dA-Zed quizThe 5 best features from PinkPantheress’ new remix album
