“Anaconda,” which is currently No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, has also become her longest solo No. 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart after six weeks.

In August, the racy music video set a 24-hour VEVO record with 19.6 million views and has since been watched over 235 million times.

The booty banger, produced by Polow Da Don and Da Internz, will appear on Nicki’s upcoming album The PinkPrint, which is set for a November 24 release.
