Adele's "Hello" Becomes the Fastest Video to Reach 1 Billion Views

Adele's track "Hello" has become the fastest video to hit a billion views on YouTube, taking just 87 days to reach the milestone. She topples "Gingham Style" by Psy, which achieved the same figure in 158 days. So far, there are only 17 videos on YouTube to reach the 1 billion mark, including "Sugar" by Maroon 5, "Lean On" by Major Lazer, "Love The Way You Lie" by Eminem, "Party Rock" by LMFAO, and "Chandelier" by Sia

"A few years ago, only PSY's Gangnam Style and Justin Bieber's Baby had reached the milestone," says YouTube. "And Baby took over four years to get there. Of the 17 videos that have reached one billion, four of these were released last year. While one billion views is rare, it's occurring at a faster rate. Since 2014, the number of days to reach one billion views has dropped dramatically. In 2013, the fastest track to one billion was Katy Perry's Roar at 487 days. In 2014, it was Taylor Swift's Blank Space at 238 days. In 2015, Adele managed to set the bar at 87 days."
