According to the guardian; “Hello, can you hear me?” sang Adele to the world. And the world answered: yes, and we’re watching you too. Many many times.
Adele’s video for new single Hello
has broken Taylor’s Swift’s records for the most views on Vevo in 24
hours. The clip accumulated 27.7m views in its first day online, beating
the 20.1m views that Swift’s Bad Blood and its star-studded cast of
celebrities attracted in its first 24 hours.
Teased with a 30-second clip in
the ad break of Sunday’s UK X Factor, Hello went viral when the full
video was released on Friday, along with details of the singer’s
forthcoming third album 25, which she says will be a “a make up album”.
The video was filmed in Montreal and directed by French Canadian
film-maker Xavier Dolan, who said there was an instant connection when
he first met the singer in London.
“We chatted about our lives and our loves and our romances,” Dolan told Entertainment Weekly.
“It was so much about who we were. We had so much in common. Basically,
all of her songs are revolving around the theme of unrequited love and
so are my movies.”
Adele has yet to beat Swift’s other Vevo record, the 1.2bn views the Blank Space video
has accumulated to make it the service’s all-time most watched video,
although Hello has already clocked up an admirable 82m views and
counting.
Adele will perform Hello on Saturday Night Live on 21 November, a day after the release of her album.
