After surpassing 76 million views in under a week, it eclipsed 410 million global views and counting. The groundbreaking video- co-directed by West and executively-produced by Spike Jonze- went viral, spawning an #ILoveItChallenge on social media, memes from celebrities like Ellen Degeneres, and a hilarious spoof from The Late Late Show's James Corden.
