Just when we had all nearly given up hope, Adele blessed our ears, lives and souls with new music just in time for “Adele & Chill” season. Last Friday, we all awoke to a stunning black and white video of the British soul singer’s first single “Hello” off of her highly anticipated third album 25. The heart-wrenching video (which was shot using IMAX cameras), stars the singer and 90210 star Tristan Wilds as her ex-lover. In just 24 hours the video garnered a whopping 27.7 million views, unseating the record previously held by pop-singer Taylor Swift for her “Bad Blood” video, which snagged 20.1 million in the first 24 hours. Here are the top 10 videos for the most views in a 24-hour period on Vevo. You might notice that its the ladies who are getting the majority of the views.
