Psy's 'Gangnam Style' set to beat Justin Bieber's YouTube record



Psy's 'Gangnam Style' is set to become the most-watched video ever on YouTube this weekend.

The K-pop star's hit - the first ever UK Number One by a Korean artist - has racked up over 795 million views since it was posted on July 15, 2012. Bieber's track 'Baby', posted in February 2010 has 803 million views.

With Gangnam Style attracting around 11 million hits a day, it is due to become the most-watched YouTube video ever this weekend, according to The Telegraph.

Earlier this year, the high-octane video broke YouTube's record for the 'most liked' video ever on the site after hitting over 2,234,180 likes. Guinness World Records reported that the video overshadowed LMFAO's 'Party Rock Anthem', which had 1,574,963 likes, as well as Justin Bieber's 'Baby' which had 1,327,147 likes and Adele's 'Rolling In The Deep', with its 1,245,641 likes.

Since hitting the big time in the West, Psy has been approached by with Justin Bieber's management company and it has said the pair will work on a song together.

bbgood 24th-Nov-2012 12:45 am (UTC)

umbrella_smile 24th-Nov-2012 02:32 am (UTC)
Oh I know, I am just thinking of when Esperanza Spalding won that Grammy and belibers went nuts saying racist shit.

djc114 23rd-Nov-2012 08:53 pm (UTC)

zoaster_toaster 23rd-Nov-2012 07:23 pm (UTC)
I approve of this beating Bieber.
andthenwevomit 23rd-Nov-2012 07:23 pm (UTC)
I miss the Macarena :(
hypnology 23rd-Nov-2012 07:25 pm (UTC)
I love the macarena! I used to play it at all our house parties lol. Now that I moved away my friends will occasionally play/dance it in honor of me.
brucelynn 23rd-Nov-2012 07:26 pm (UTC)
The Macarena was far superior tbh bb <3 <3

I will always love the MTV VJ parody of that because Bill Bellamy is a fool
andthenwevomit 23rd-Nov-2012 07:34 pm (UTC)
like I needed another reason to love you more idek
veiledxposure 23rd-Nov-2012 07:48 pm (UTC)
I hated Macarena and I love novelty songs.

The Ketchup Song >>>>>>> Macarena
zulkey 23rd-Nov-2012 08:00 pm (UTC)
One of my proudest moments in life was making it onto the scoreboard doing the macarena at a Bulls game during the Jordan years.
vervain 23rd-Nov-2012 08:00 pm (UTC)
i don't. i got sick of that after every school disco, every christmas party, every new years eve party. it never ends.
belkisa 23rd-Nov-2012 11:25 pm (UTC)
same. Macarena>>>>>
hypnology 23rd-Nov-2012 07:24 pm (UTC)
I haven't met a single person who likes the song, so how is it doing so well?
riruka 23rd-Nov-2012 07:26 pm (UTC)
never underestimate the power of media cycles
ediesedgwick 23rd-Nov-2012 07:28 pm (UTC)
It's the sort of song people don't admit to liking
umbrella_smile 23rd-Nov-2012 07:29 pm (UTC)
It's a novelty, most people were curious about it, now you either love it or are sick of it. Props to him for getting that money though, his follow up definitely won't match this.
u_chai 23rd-Nov-2012 09:02 pm (UTC)
I don't think he can ever match it. But hey, he might prove me wrong.
vanishingbee 23rd-Nov-2012 07:31 pm (UTC)
Because even if you hate it you can't help but jam out to it lbr.

Only flops didn't have this on their playlist for Halloween.
radwimp 23rd-Nov-2012 07:34 pm (UTC)
i'm not a fan but i can see that it has charm and is just kind of mindlessly fun for people.
actxappalledx 23rd-Nov-2012 07:35 pm (UTC)
lol i love this song, tbh. it's just so fun
doleo 23rd-Nov-2012 07:46 pm (UTC)
for me and people i know, it's just a fun song. like, i don't think most people take it seriously.
aquaviann 23rd-Nov-2012 08:01 pm (UTC)
I like it and haven't gotten tired of it at all, but I have a high tolerance for overplayed songs.
sky3205 23rd-Nov-2012 08:05 pm (UTC)
Besides myself, I haven't met a single person who doesn't LOVE this song. I just don't get it
cabernet 23rd-Nov-2012 08:20 pm (UTC)
Whaat? It's amazing
maidenhell 23rd-Nov-2012 08:49 pm (UTC)
I love it. And I did buy it on iTunes.

umbrella_smile 23rd-Nov-2012 07:36 pm (UTC)
I miss kpop stan wars, the fandom(as well as the music) has been lackluster since 2009.
endobeats 23rd-Nov-2012 07:58 pm (UTC)
You speak nothing but truths, and yet it's hard to let go lol
imnotasquirrel 23rd-Nov-2012 07:38 pm (UTC)
pfsh. as if the beliebers can even hope to match kpop craziness. "bieberconda" is amateur hour lbr.
benihime99 23rd-Nov-2012 07:40 pm (UTC)
I bet on Kpop stan XD
doleo 23rd-Nov-2012 07:48 pm (UTC)
why have i never watched this show? the gifs are hilarious
vampireweekend 23rd-Nov-2012 08:02 pm (UTC)
k-pop stans will destroy beliebers
__papillon 23rd-Nov-2012 08:05 pm (UTC)
nah psy's fanbase aren't crazy kpop ifans (most of whom are pressed at his success, because he's not their oppar/unnir and didn't work as hard blah blah bs i would not be surprised if they read this and start a campaign to help keep bieber ahead of him), they're actual koreans (who are maybe crazy anyway, now that i think of it lol) who are proud of him. and then koreaboos lol.
vanishingbee 23rd-Nov-2012 07:25 pm (UTC)
/goes to watch gangnam style again


Fuck you apple you STILL don't recognize gangnam as a word? Smh.
scheisse 23rd-Nov-2012 07:25 pm (UTC)
"Since hitting the big time in the West, Psy has been approached by with Justin Bieber's management company and it has said the pair will work on a song together."

So fucking thirsty and lol @ Bieber's team thinking any kind of follow up song will be even remotely successful.
caulifloral 23rd-Nov-2012 10:42 pm (UTC)
This is also just lulzy because Psy was signed to Justin's management company BEFORE his song smashed in the USA.
fabouluz 23rd-Nov-2012 07:26 pm (UTC)
I love dancing to this in the club. ngl.
imnotasquirrel 23rd-Nov-2012 07:29 pm (UTC)
yesterday someone kept blasting gangnam style outside in my neighborhood

nothing says thanksgiving like the invisible horsey dance, i guess
krzg 23rd-Nov-2012 07:29 pm (UTC)
