Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next” is blooming just like Regina George’s popularity, as the Mean Girls-inspired music video has gone on to break massive records across the worldwide web.
The video features accurate recreations of a few Mean Girls scenes, along with some from the classic films Bring It On, 13 Going on 30 and Legally Blonde, which has already broke the record for simultaneous viewers for a YouTube premiere thanks to the 829K people who watched Grande and company bend and snap at the same time.
Now “thank u, next” has racked up another achievement: it’s officially broken the record for most views on a YouTube video in 24 hours. Grande’s video has racked up an incredible total of 47 million views and counting, blowing past the record previously established by BTS, whose “Idol” video reached 45 million views in the 24 hours preceding its debut back in August.
