Machine Gun Kelly‘s ‘Tickets To My Downfall‘ musical Downfalls High has already amassed a staggering 16 million views, the rapper has confirmed.
The high school movie-themed adaptation of his latest record was unveiled via Facebook on January 15, and has now also been uploaded to YouTube after its initial premiere.
“Opening weekend did over 16 million views!!” said MGK. “Now we’re premiering it on YouTube today for everyone to watch. Thanks to everyone who helped us turn the album into its own world and era.”
Featuring appearances from the likes of Trippie Redd and Iann Dior, the Grease 2 inspired production saw Kelly’s album soundtracking a classic tale of high school drama.

Speaking to NME in a Big Read cover feature last year, Kelly called the musical a “pop-punk Grease“ and explained it emerged from a running joke he had with his collaborator Mod Sun where they make excuses to leave situations by saying they need to go and watch Grease 2.
