\t\t\t\t\tAkon & Eminem\u2019s ‘Smack That’ Video Grinds Into the Billion Views Club on\u00a0YouTube\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

\n\tThe visual for the 2005 song kicks off with the singer receiving a standing ovation from fans at his concert. The applause quickly wears off and Akon is left standing at the stage by himself. A friend offers him the opportunity to hang out with a group of girls and guy friends, to which he politely declines due to having several thoughts on his mind. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe video then cuts to scenes of Akon reflecting on the actions that made his girlfriend \u2014 played by The Vampire Diaries <\/em>actress Kat Graham \u2014 leave him suddenly with no explanation. As the singer roams around town, hitting up an abandoned video game arcade and walking down a busy boulevard, Graham cries in separate scenes, taking a plane ticket, packing her bags and leaving the home that she and the singer share. The visual ends with the actress pulling up in a cab, greeting a man who is not Akon with a hug. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLonely\u201d was released as the third single from Akon\u2019s debut studio album, Trouble<\/em>. The track peaked at No. 4 and spent 20 weeks on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100<\/a>, and marked the singer\u2019s third solo entry on the chart. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLonely\u201d joins YouTube\u2019s Billion Views Club after his \u201cSmack That (feat. Eminem)\u201d (1.1 billion) and David Guetta\u2019s \u201cPlay Hard,\u201d in which he features alongside Ne-Yo (1.1 billion).<\/p>\n
