Ariana Grande's video for "thank u, next" is the biggest music video of the year, that is a fact. Breaking a record previously set by BTS earlier this year, the video garnered more views in a 24-hour period than any other video before. It is almost scientifically engineered to the be a smash success for a generation rediscovering their nostalgia for mid-2000s rom-coms. In the wake of the To All The Boys I've Loved Before phenomenon, the "thank u, next" video is a highlights reel of movies like Mean Girls, Bring It On, 13 Going on 30, and Legally Blonde with Grande cast in the starring role.
