VEVO ALERT! VEVO ALERT! VEVO ALERT!
We have some humongous news:
You won't belive this, 3 months ago, Adele's Hello was released on October 2015 and nearly 3 months later, the music video has gained 1 billion views on Vevo and YouTube. That's right. I'm talking about this huge record. But wait, that's not all...
Adele's Hello music video not only gained more than 1 billion views on Vevo in almost 3 months, but Adele breaks 1 billion-view record on YouTube beating that stupid Gangnam Style. Hooray. I hate Gangnam Style. I'm glad Adele was a new history. Back in 2012, nothing is more popular than Psy's K-pop smash, Gangman Style. That "junk music" has ranked in over 1 billion views on YouTube in just 158 days as a record. What the fart? Now, we got this.
That record has been broken by Adele who's making a habit of breaking records lately as Adele's Hello video hit the billion mark in just 87 days since YouTube revealed the rankings 5 days ago. That's right, I'm talking about Hello beating Gangnam Style's records on YouTube. You go, bitch.
Anyway, and to put the accomplishment in perspective, according to Today, concider this: Only 17 music videos have ever hit the billion mark like Katy Perry's Roar and Taylor Swift's Shake It Off. Among them is Justin Bieber's Baby (Boo!), but it took that clip over 4 years to earn a spot on the short list.
According to Tech Times, "Adele's comeback single "Hello" has broken another record, and in a big way. The video for the song has become the fastest ever to reach 1 billion YouTube views, beating out the former record holder, Psy's "Gangnam Style" in almost half the time it took the latter to reach the milestone.
Adele broke some significant records in 2015, and she's starting off the new year setting some brand new ones. Last October, the video for the "Hello" single broke Taylor Swift's previous record for the most views of a video in a single day, racking up over 27 million sets of eyeballs. Then in November, when the song was released, she broke another record, this time for most first-week digital downloads sold, at 1.1 million.
Later that month, when her 25 album went on sale, she broke the record for most digital downloads of an album and overall sales of an album in its first week of release, with her 3.38 million total besting boy band 'NSync's longstanding previous record by 1 million.
Now, the video for "Hello" has officially received over 1 billion YouTube views, 87 days following its release. That beats out the previous leader, South Korean performer Psy's viral video hit "Gangnam Style," which caught the world's interest to the tune of over a billion YouTube views in 158 days, almost twice the time it took Adele to achieve the same feat.
The 1 billion mark had been reserved for less than a handful of songs until lately, when numerous new songs began surpassing the milestone. Several years ago, "Gangnam Style" and Justin Bieber's "Baby" were the only videos to hold the honor, and it took the Canadian heartthrob over 4 years to make the mark. Maroon 5's "Sugar," Major Lazer's "Lean On," OneRepublic's "Counting Stars," LMFAO's "Party Rock," and Sia's "Chandelier" have all joined the over a billion club.
It's interesting to distinguish between the videos at the billion mark that are most likely viewed due to their video content as opposed to those that are more often streamed as a way to access the song itself. It's clear that the videos by Psy, Sia, and LMFAO had huge actual viewing interest, since the dancing in each piece is a big factor in its popularity.
Psy's moves, LMFAO's shuffling, and the impassioned dance performance of 13-year-old Maddie Ziegler in Sia's video were all crucial elements of their respective song's popularity, while with the Adele and Major Lazer songs, YouTube appears to be acting in some cases as more of an on-demand streamer for listening purposes.
In any case, viewers have now seen or heard Adele hanging up her flip phone over one billion times, and counting."
Congratulations on becoming the fastest music video ever to reach 1 billion views for Hello's music video, Adele. Keep up the good work.
As you may know that I don't trust repeats and breaking records. Why? Because repeats and breaking records are ruining the businesses these days. I hate repeats and breaking records. That's all business does these days. I'm sick of repeats and breaking records.
All people listen to music does these days is repeats like radio and celebrities like Justin Bieber. That's all people listen to music does these days. Repeats like pop music and celebrities like Nicki Minaj. People listen to music don't care about diversity like music videos and rock music. Hello, this is mainstream music, not repeats and celebrities music.
I hate breaking records version of successes. Why do we need nothing but junk music like Justin Bieber and Gangnam Style? It's getting repetitive. This is why Avril Lavigne do not like breaking records because breaking records do hurt not only Avril Lavigne but also something like streaming music and internet. Rant/ramble over.
Back to Adele.
Congrats to Adele for creaming Justin Bieber and Gangnam Style because I do not like Justin Bieber and Gangnam Style. I'm gonna break Justin Bieber and Gangnam Style into pieces until no more. Stupid Justin Bieber and Gangnam Style.
This is why this song needs to be an event. Why? Because most music like this one needs to be events. Especially music from 2009-2014 like Katy Perry's Dark Horse (I never like that song, but whatever.) and Taylor Swift's Blank Space. That's why they needs to be events.
What do you think? Are you happy that Adele's Hello breaks Psy's Gangnam Style's record on Vevo? Give me in the comments below!
