The artwork for Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" single certainly turned some heads, but it seems the video for the track made an even larger impression. The official clip for Minaj's "Baby Got Back" inspired romp hit the net Tuesday night, and accumulated 19.6 million views over the following 24 hours.

The insane count actually broke VEVO's record for most views withing a one day stretch, beating out Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop", which previously held the top spot with 12.3 million.

The clip is still climbing, currently sitting at close to 39 million views. It's possible it still has a few more records to break.

Nicki is set to perform the song at this year's MTV VMA's, which is sure to be just as crazy a spectacle. She'll also take the stage alongside Jessie J and Ariana Grande for "Bang Bang", as well as with Usher for "She Came To Give It To You".

In case aren't within the 38 million people who've already seen it, you can watch the video for "Anaconda" here.
