'Anaconda' Has Now Overtaken 'Wrecking Ball' as the Most Viewed Video

Nicki Minaj‘s viral “Anaconda” music video has broken the record for the most views in 24 hours, snagging the top spot from Miley Cyrus, who previously held the record for her single “Wrecking Ball” (coincidentally, the two will be seated next to each other at the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards and Cyrus even Photoshopped herself on the artwork for Minaj’s single).

Music video website Vevo announced the news on Twitter today, revealing that the “Anaconda” music video has been viewed 19.6 million times in just 24 hours when compared to Cyrus’ previous record of 12.3 million video views.

Clearly, Minaj was ecstatic upon hearing the news, taking to Twitter to share her excitement in addition to Instagramming a screengrab of one of Vevo’s tweets, which cleverly included the phrase “A$$mazing.”
