"Ariana Grande's 'thank u, next' is now the fastest video to 100 million views in Vevo's history. We are completely floored by the performance that we are seeing for this video and how our audience continues to flock to it," says Vevo's Head of Content, Programming & Marketing JP Evangelista. "It's one thing to have a video premiere that comes out of the gate strong and entirely something else for it to continue to sustain that momentum over time.

All signs indicate that 'thank u, next' will be a chart topper for us for weeks to come and will contend with many of our top all-time most viewed videos. Congratulations are in order once again to Ariana, Hannah Lux Davis and the entire family at Republic Records."
