In May, Justin Bieber became the VEVO music video king when his “Boyfriend” video racked up more than 5 million hits in a 24 hour period. Last Thursday, Justin’s record was pulverized by One Direction’s early hit “Live While We’re Young!”

1D’s newest single was viewed a whopping 8.34 million views within just a day of its release!
