Miley Cyrus breaks record with new video,which is the most viewed on vevo

The controversial video beats One Direction's staggering record after being viewed more than 12.3 MILLION times in just ONE day.

Well it seems like One Direction might be twiddling their thumbs after their short-lived record breaking feat was outdone by a bit of nudity.

The boy band claimed the throne of most viewed video on Vevo in 24 hours with their newest single ‘Best Song Ever.’

But they were obviously lacking - or rather, were too clothed - nakedness as Miley Cyrus has stormed ahead and made history.

Her controversial video to Wrecking Ball was viewed more than 12.3 MILLION times on YouTube video platform Vevo.

The controversial video directed by Terry Richardson sees the 20-year-old singer moan about heartbreak while dangling her nude limbs around on top of a wrecking ball hanging by a chain.
