Rihanna’s New Video Hits 4.6+ Mil. YouTube Views in Opening Weekend {VIDEO}

Rihanna’s new video for ‘You Da One’ was the talk of social media during the holiday weekend as it reached over 4.6 million views since being uploaded on Friday.

The video directed by Melina Masoukas, who has worked with Rihanni on six other videos, hit over 3 million videos in her first day with the help of Rihanna’s 11 million plus followers on the social media website, Twitter.

"This sh_t is pretty punk and irreverent this b_tch @rihanna can pull off anything… Even on negative sleep…,” tweeted Masoukas before the upload.

Featuring references to Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 film, A Clockwork Orange; Michael Jackson-like crotch grabs and pelvic thrusts; and the 23-year old Barbadian singer writhing around in various states of undress, “You Da One” looks to draw multiple views from Rihanna fans.

So what is next from Rihanna?

“I’m gonna release “The Making of TTT” soon! I love it! The edit’s almost 100%….I think you’re gonna love it too,” tweeted Rihanna.

Although short, fingers are crossed we see a “Birthday Cake” video.

Comment by Connie on December 29, 2011 at 8:30am: @Loveli... sorry love, but from a "critique" point of view, I rather watch Riri grind up in a video and grab her crotch, than watch or listen to "Soca 2012 I love liquor." Who wants to spend over 3 minutes watching pictures of P-Diddy, Jay-Z and other celebreties pouring and drinking liquor? Doesn't that SOCA 12 clip sends a "negative message to our youths"? I did not see any live singing or dancing either, anyway after less than a minute I could not watch the boredom anymore. As for watching the above video, (I prefer sounds of music, when I want silence I do Yoga and meditate) I did not see Riri taking drugs in "U Da one", and yes she should party hard because she is 23 and that's what young people and grown adults do. This is just my opinion, but on another note, you have a prosperous new year, and I hope to see your artistic dance here on CF or on video for 2012. All da best.

Blessings

Comment by Amuse Me on December 28, 2011 at 12:06pm: I like RiRi but why people acting like the video is some masterpiece, its her usually thing, be almost naked, shake her ass, and hold up her crotch. This song is not that special either. But she making her money.

Comment by Connie on December 27, 2011 at 9:27pm: @Mervin and @evolution, I second that. Also watch out for the next Mariah and Whitney----Melanie Amaro.

@MLMGL, tell u daughter RiRi, stop hole-up are "front".....LOL

Maybe she sending Chris Brown some subliminal message... 'U caan get no more a dis bwoy". LOL
