Justin Bieber Makes You Tube History With "Boyfriend" Video !

The music video for "Boyfriend," the new single from Justin Bieber's forthcoming album, has set a new record on YouTube, logging over 8 million views within 24 hours of being made available for streaming to Bieber's fans, who refer to themselves as "Beliebers."

That number was fueled by a campaign mounted by the Canadian heartthrob's Twitter followers (now numbering well over 21 million, second only to Lady Gaga) to make "Boyfriend" the most popular offering ever posted to the video-sharing site.

It has to be mentioned that the video has drawn comparisons to the video for "Girlfriend," a 2002 hit for NSYNC, the boy band that launched Justin Timberlake's career.

As of Saturday, "Boyfriend" had logged 9.2 million hits!!!

Amazing eh?

Congratulations Justin!
