David Bowie Breaks Adele’s Single-Day VEVO Record
David Bowie might score the first No. 1 album of his career if Blackstar tops Adele’s 25 this week, but the music legend has already trumped Adele in another area: VEVO views.
Following the news of Bowie’s passing at the age of 69, his music videos were watched more than 51 million times in 24 hours, setting a new VEVO record. The previous record-holder was Adele, who notched 36 million views when her “Hello” single and video were released simultaneously last October.
