Miley Cyrus’ image overhaul has attracted record-breaking attention.
The 20-year-old pop singer’s new music video for new single “Wrecking Ball” has shattered the record for most views on VEVO in the first 24 hours, with 19.3 million views across the music video platform. This isn’t the first time Cyrus has reigned supreme over VEVO, though.
“We Can’t Stop,” the first single from her upcoming album, “Bangerz,” broke a previous record when it debuted on VEVO in June. One Direction’s “Best Song Ever” stole the title in July when the music video hit 12.3 million views in 24 hours.
In the larger YouTube landscape, Psy’s “Gentleman” became the first music video to rack up over 20 million views in its first 24 hours last April. Cyrus’ was shy of breaking any records outside of VEVO, but she did follow in Psy’s footsteps by pummeling Justin Bieber’s 2012 hit “Boyfriend,” which debuted last year with 8 million views in the first 24 hours.
Cyrus’ “Wrecking ball” is currently approaching 22.5 million, and is even more revealing than her controversial VMA performance which apparently has given her the boost in attention she was hoping for.
