The smash single from the British singer’s record-breaking album “25” has become the fastest ever video to reach 1 billion views on YouTube, the video platform announced Thursday.<\/p>\n

It took just 87 days for “Hello” to hit the milestone — nearly twice as fast as the previous record of 158 days set by Psy’s “Gangnam Style.”<\/p>\n

There are now 17 videos in the 1 billion club – and seven of those reached the milestone in the past year, YouTube said.<\/p>\n

“Since 2014, the number of days to reach 1 billion views has dropped dramatically,” YouTube said in a blog post.<\/p>\n

“In 2013, the fastest track to 1 billion was Katy Perry’s “Roar” at 487 days. In 2014, it was Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” at 238 days. In 2015, Adele managed to set the bar at 87 days.”<\/p>\n

\n

Psy can take solace in the fact that “Gangnam Style” is still the most-watched of all-time, racking up more than 2.5 billion views since 2012.<\/p>\n
