I have zero doubts this is going to surpass 50M views within 24h. Going for the record would be a stretch, but it'd still rank 14th in the list of videos with most views in the first 24 hours.

28M views in just 4h already.

So it's easily going to make the top 10 of all time for views in first 24h, and will be the only non-music video to do so (in the current list):

(#10 is 61.4M. #1 is 108M.)

It's at 67 millions right now, that would put it on 8th place. There's still 11 hours to go, so it should go up a few more places.

90.1 million while it still says 23h.

That puts it at the new #3 rank of all time.

Wow.

Try $1B in one day when it releases!

It was a premiere video so it was a placeholder until tomorrow at 9am. Rockstar just made it public but it was racking up likes before that.

Why do people bother to hit the like button? Like, I just close the window. Do I need to give R* an ego boost or something?
