From the moment it arrived, Ariana Grande’s “Thank U, Next” has been a nearly unstoppable powerhouse, owning the Hot 100 singles chart for four nonconsecutive weeks (so far) and breaking record after record as it goes. In fact, while the track itself debuted at No. 1 in the U. S. (giving the pop superstar her first leader) and hasn’t dipped in popularity in the weeks since, it’s the eye-catchy, movie-referencing video that recently helped the pop singer earn a few new spots in the history books.
Here’s a rundown of the records the “Thank U, Next” video has already broken.
