Following her epic slayage of weekend one of Coachella, Beyoncé has just set a new YouTube record. The news comes a day after it was announced that Bey was donating $100,000 to Homecoming Scholars Award programs for HBCU students via her BeyGOOD foundation.

Now Bey has brought in some major numbers for the streaming and video platform and for Coachella according to TMZ.

Bey’s Saturday performance drew 458k simultaneous viewers on YouTube … the most ever for a single Coachella performance since they started streaming the festival 8 years ago. That number is also up a whopping 75% over last year, when Lady Gaga stepped in to replace pregnant Bey.

In all, we’re told the opening weekend — which also included The Weeknd, Eminem and Migos, — generated 43.1 million live stream views in 232 countries. That makes it the most-viewed live music festival ever on YouTube.

It’s also being reported that “Beychella” was reportedly mentioned about 2.2 million times on Twitter. The social media platform also included the highest tweets per minute near the end of her set, according to Billboard.

Bey will return to the stage for weekend two of Coachella on Saturday, April 21.
