It's a lot of views to count up. VEVO has a ton of mini apps where you can watch the video.

Plus, that's how long it took for WCS and iirc BSE. Hoping we get it before that, though.

Do you not understand the difference between first 24 hours (which can span 2 days) and first day (which includes 1 day only)?

These videos have recorded the most number of views for their first 24 hours of release in Vevo.Psy's "Gentleman" currently holds it with 38.4 million from April 13-14, 2013. The reason Psy wasn't given the record was this video was not part of the Vevo collection the day it was first released in YouTube. It was only included in Vevo in April 17, 2013

Psy released on April 13. But he didn't release at 12 AM so his first 24 hours extended to April 14. On April 13, his video was watched 18.9 million times.

But wiki says the previous record was Bieber's BAAB which had 10.6M which equals to his 24 hours number.
