The number’s lyric video was uploaded to the VEVO platform on May 19th.

Now, less than a fortnight after, it has already been streamed 1,140,815 times, crossing the 1 million barrier on May 25th weeks before the release of its supporting music video!

Epic, to say the least.

Its success comes before the unveiling of its parent album which will feature material the star has recorded since her split from the producer Calvin Harris and the release of their smash hit single ‘I Will Never Let You Down.’

Ms. Ora isn’t the only star making moves online.

For, Hip-Hop singer Elijah Blake has scored tens across the VEVO board with his video for the single single ‘I Just Wanna.’

How? Only by nabbing 1.2 million views on the platform.

Yes, the clip did that as fans learn that it has been watched for a total of 2,191 days in less than a month and has driven 980 subscriptions to his official channel. The jam appears on his debut offering ‘Shadows & Diamonds.’

Elsewhere, Rihanna’s ‘Bitch Better Have My Money’ continues to show no signs of slowing down…even without a supporting video.

For, the star was smart enough to upload the ‘iHeart Radio Music Awards’ performance of the song on her official VEVO channel and the results have been spectacular to say the least.

Not sure what we mean? Peep the stats below…

Last not but not least is the late Aaliyah.

As fans will already know, her passing in 2001 has done nothing to diminish the public’s interest in her music and recent moves made on an unofficial fan channel on YouTube have gone a long way to prove that point.

On August 26th 2008 a YouTube user who goes by the name of ‘AaliyahMusicVideo’ uploaded her 2001 visual for the single ‘Rock the Boat‘ to their channel. Today, on Saturday 30th May, the video has been streamed 21,320,370 times, making it one of the highest viewed Aaliyah-related clips online.
