Twenty One Pilots pulled the plug on their “never-ending” music video for “Level Of Concern” last week, but the impressive six-month run was enough to get them a Guinness World Record.

The popular duo asked the fans to submit clips for the song’s visuals back in June and used them to automatically generate new footage each time “Level of Concern” was played. The project, developed with director Jason Zada, went on for 178 days before being coming to an end on December 16th.

When all was said and done, Guinness “checked out the stats” and “declared it officially the longest video ever.”

“Level of Concern” was released in April, serving as a standalone single. The song was written and recorded at the beginning of the pandemic, with the group wanting to encourage hope during these testing times. It ended up becoming quite popular, performing well on the charts and being certified gold in the U.S., Brazil, and Canada.

Twenty One Pilots are currently working on their new album, the successor to 2018’s Trench. Vocalist Tyler Joseph confirmed this news on social media in November, but the release date and details remain unknown.
