“Queen Of Mean” was the top-performing track from “Descendants 3.”

Sarah Jeffery’s “Descendants 3” song “Queen of Mean” enjoyed a massive week following the film’s August 2 premiere.

The official music video debuts at #1 on this week’s US YouTube Music Videos Chart. It amassed 12.9 million US views during the August 4-10 tracking period**, besting the #2 video by more than 4 million.

“Queen of Mean” also fared well on US iTunes, where it spent much of the week as one of the 25 best-selling songs.
