Adele smashes Taylor Swift's Bad Blood record view count in just 24 hours with her comeback single Hello
Her comeback single Hello racked up 27.7 million views within 24 hours of hitting the web.
The impressive count means Adele has broken Taylor Swift's record for her recent single Bad Blood, which totalled 20.1 million views in the first day it went viral.
The smash success is all the more impressive since Adele dropped her single by surprise last Friday after previewing a short clip from the video during The X Factor UK the previous weekend.
Meanwhile, Taylor debuted her track during the 2015 Billboard Music Awards in May after actively teasing her fans for weeks with posters of the famous friends who would be joining her in the clip.
As it stands, Adele's power ballad boasts 90 million views on YouTube after five days, while Taylor's is at almost 600 million after five months.
Hello also looks set to beat 100 million streams on YouTube in its first seven days, which would put it just behind record holders Psys Gentleman and Miley Cyruss Wrecking Ball.
The news comes after Adele's first single in three years, taken from her upcoming album 25, rocketed straight to number one in the charts.
The nostalgic tune sold 165,00 copies in just three days and according to the Official Charts Company show the single has been downloaded roughly 156,000 times.
The 27-year-old multi-Grammy Award winning is also on course to climb the top of the US charts.
Reports suggest that the mother-of-one's latest release has sold an estimated 450,000 downloads in two days Stateside.
Meanwhile, the producer of Hello, Greg Kurstin has admitted that he found it a deep struggle to keep the song a secret.
In an interview with The Associated Press, the 46-year-old, who also co-wrote the hit, said: 'I'm not going to lie - it's not easy to hold that information in for that long.'
He continued: 'You kind of want to shout it out, run around in the streets yelling to random strangers what you've just done.
Released on Friday, after its worldwide premiere on The Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw, Hello topped the iTunes singles chart in 102 countries.
The visuals, which stars Tristan Wilds, for the single also broke the Vevo record for most views in a day with 27.7 million.
Adele's new album, 25, is set to hit stores November 20 and has already claimed the number one spot in 93 countries on pre-order.

Poor Taylor Swift. All her "superstar friends" in one music video didn't stand a change against Adele's simple video lol!
People are playing Adele one million times an hour on YouTube
By Amelia Butterly Newsbeat reporter
The singer released the video for Hello on Friday morning and within 48 hours it had been viewed more than 50m times.
That makes it the biggest debut of any YouTube video in 2015 and "one of the most-watched music video debuts of all time" the streaming site says in a blog post.
The phrase "adele hello" was also the top YouTube search term of Friday and Saturday.
On average the video was getting one million views per hour during the first two days, but at one point it peaked at 1.6m in a single hour.
Compare this to the trailer for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, which peaked at 1.2m views per hour.
Adele is breaking digital records all over the place.
More than two people every second were Shazaming the track in the 24 hours after its release, it also emerged today.
That's a total of 200,000, a record for the music recognition app.
"No single has ever been Shazamed so much in its first day," Daniel Danker, the company's Chief Product Officer told Newsbeat.
The full track had its first play on the BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show on Friday and it was an emotional moment for Adele, who cried as it went out on air.
"I obviously want people to like it," she said. "I knew this would be the first thing everyone heard from me."

As I said earlier was not a fan of her suicidal music, however for some reason I have this song on repeat. Well she went to the Brit school which is minutes from where I live and one of my brothers is her neighbour....so I feel I should support her
^^ I like the laughing one too. She has a pretty smile.
I want to love her new song because the music, lyrics, and production are great, but I still just can't stand her voice. Something must be wrong with my ears because it just sounds like whiny moaning to me.

The colour shot is gorgeous!
