A Relatively Unknown India Rapper Allegedly Beat Taylor Swift and BTS' YouTube Records Using Google AdWords

We’ll start with this: according to YouTube, Taylor Swift’s ‘Me!’ currently holds the platform’s 24-hour views record for a solo artist.

The music video — featuring Panic at the Disco’s Brendon Urie — hit 65.4 million views in a single day.
‘Me!’ easily surpassed the previous record.  Ariana Grande’s ‘Thank U, Next’ had previously reached 55.4 million views within 24 hours.
Among bands, BTS currently holds the record for most views within 24 hours for ‘Boy With Luv’ featuring Halsey.  Fans viewed the video 76.4 million times within 24 hours of its release.
Now, one of the major labels claims that an Indian artist has easily smashed Taylor Swift and BTS’ record.

How some money to Google goes a long way.

According to Sony Music, rapper Badshah’s latest track has set a record on YouTube.
The music video for ‘Paagal’ (pagal means bizarre or fantastic in Hindi) reached over 75 million views within 24 hours of its release.  The major label claims the video has “dethroned [both] BTS and Taylor Swift.”
Currently, the music video has over 83.3 million views.
Speaking on the milestone – which YouTube has yet to confirm – Shridhar Subramaniam, Sony Music’s President of India and Middle East, said,
This is an unprecedented feat and we’re very proud.  This will go down [in] history as Badshah becomes the first Indian artist to reach 75 million views in 24 hours.
The rapper – real name Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia – added that he created ‘Paagal’ to take music from India “across borders and make our presence felt.”
I’m ecstatic and…overwhelmed with the amount of love we have received in the last 24 hours.
So, how did Sisodia purportedly achieve the milestone?

On an Instagram story, the rapper raised suspicionswhen he accidentally suggested Sony Music may have bought fake views.
Is it even worth it?  We worked hard for this [and] promoted it worldwide.  And what some people call fake views are not fake views.  They’re Google AdWords.  It’s a way of promoting your video.  We bought AdWords all around the world so that people could see the video all around the world.

According to Badshah, most of the criticism came from BTS fans — known as A.R.M.Y.

One fan said,
BTS literally had 4 million above likes in first 24 hours for 74 million views and this doesn’t even have 500k?  How come?
Slamming the ‘milestone,’ another BTS fan said,
Dear Badshah.  Next time remember to buy likes, too.
Defending the unverified YouTube record, the rapper concluded,
You think artists abroad don’t get paid promotions?  Are you so naive?  I don’t want to be the one with the highest views, but someone has to be.  I tried and I did it.  Get over it.

How to prepare Menemen

 Menemen (Turkish Scrambled Eggs With Tomato) Time :25 minutes Menemen, made from eggs, tomatoes, peppers and sometimes onions, is a distinctly Turkish breakfast comfort food. Although a year-round dish, it is especially pleasing in the summer, with really ripe tomatoes from the garden or farmer’s market. Be creative with this dish: Add shallots, chiles, fresh herbs or Aleppo pepper, or treat it as purists do, with only tomatoes and eggs. Cook slowly, stirring infrequently, until the eggs form billowy puffs. You can serve topped with feta cheese or lamb sausage, with any warm flatbread on the side.

Drinking Water Crisis in Rural Towns

Drinking water is essential for life, but many rural towns in the U.S. are struggling to provide safe and reliable water to their residents. For decades, these towns have neglected their drinking water systems, resulting in aging infrastructure, water quality violations, and financial challenges. In this blog post, we will explore some of the causes and consequences of this crisis, and what can be done to address it. Causes of the Crisis One of the main causes of the crisis is the shrinking population of many rural towns. As people move to urban areas or other states, the tax base and the customer base of the water systems decline. This means less revenue to cover the costs of operation, maintenance, and improvement of the water systems. According to a report by the American Bar Association³, in 2015, 9 percent of all water systems had a documented violation of water quality standards, exposing 21 million people to unhealthy drinking water. These violations were more likely to occur in...
