'Best Song Ever' Video Delights Fans, Gets 11 Million Views in a Day, Breaks Record

Just yesterday, Monday July 24, the British boy band One Direction debuted the music video for their new single "Best Song Ever," and it is already extremely successful.

Within just 24 hours, the video earned a huge 10.9 million views on Vevo, breaking the record for most views within 24 hours on Vevo, USA Today reported. In fact, One Direction's "Best Song Ever" music video broke the record by 2 million views. The previous record was held by Miley Cyrus, who racked up 10.7 million views in the first 24 hours when her video for single "We Can't Stop" was put up.

Fans didn't seem put off by the boastful title, which is reasonable, considering the lyrics clear up that the British band is not referring to their own song with the title.
