Adding to it's already classic-status; that's Hyuna (Bubble Pop).

[Shaun]

I thought it was her but I thought I might just be being racist

[Shaun]

this has unfairly few views

[Shaun]

[Me. I Am Salman]

It just sounds like a really generic song but in a different language so I don't get the hype for it. I like the chorus though.

[Shaun]

did you even watch the video

Gangnam Style is currently the second most liked video on Youtube, expected to be the most liked within a couple of weeks.

[Shaun]

#61 on the UK charts last week. Has topped Finland's chart, and had top-5 places in Denmark and the Netherlands

[Niall]

I'm usually a sucker for this kind of music but this song really irritates me for some reason. I think its because he's like a Korean LMFAO in the video but w/e. :idc:

[Harry!]

Finally watching this, the video is pure crazy and hilarious at the same time!

[Benjamin]

It's storming the itunes charts across the world, lol.

[Maia]

Just heard this...............amazing :worship:

[Shaun]

:amazed:

[Samuel.]

#1 now :worship:

[Harry!]

I have actually bought this today. Hope it charts in the UK top 40.

[Shaun]

only #27 in the UK atm :bored:

[Shaun]

but would still be the first ever K-Pop song to chart here, IIRC

[Harry!]

Officially number 37 in the UK charts!

[Doogle]

I want this to be as big as The Ketchup Song, Macarena etc. :sad: It's amazing and I hope it gets to #1 on Billboard. It might get #1 here but I don't know, something crap like Trey Songz will probably block it :bored:

[mrlecturer]

his appearance on Ellen shot his fame up like a kite in the US. he was even on Saturday Night Live yesterday.

[Apple202]

I love this, mainly because it's one of the few songs I can dance too but still I love it none the less

[reece(:]

wcLNteez3c4 prefer this one even though it sounds like she's saying something different! :joker:

[Callum]

I normally hate these sort of songs but this is a definite guilty pleasure. That being said it's already becoming overexposed so I'll probably hate it in a few weeks time.

[Shaun]

hmm now he's had his debut placing in the UK chart he should gain a little attention (in the same sense that Azealia Banks did, but she was far too explicit to grab a place on UK chat shows) and climb a bit

[Jessica.]

I liked this song before it was mainstream. :idc:

[mrlecturer]

I liked this song before it was mainstream. :idc:

you're one of those people.


i am too.

[Shaun]

climbed to #7 in the UK :amazed:

[Shaun]

is 20m views off One Direction - What Makes You Beautiful and 50m off Carly Rae Jepsen, has been #1 on the YouTube music chart for 2 months, has DOUBLE the likes 'Call Me Maybe' and 'What Makes You Beautiful' have.

:lovedup:

[Benjamin]

#1 in NZ, USA, Germany, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland.

Psy’s “Gangnam Style” reaches #2 on YouTube’s Most Viewed Videos of All-Time

Heyyyyyy Justin Bieber, watch out because Psy‘s coming for you.

Psy‘s “Gangnam Style” has surpassed Jennifer Lopez‘s “On The Floor” to become the 2nd Most viewed Video of all time on YouTube!

Just 9 days ago, Psy had surpassed Eminem to reach #3 at around Half a Billion views, and he has managed to snag another 100 million views over that short time span to push forward onto the #2 spot.

Currently with over 615 million views, Psy is around 179 million views shy from taking over Justin Bieber‘s “Baby” for the overall top spot. The number may seem a bit daunting, but fans are still holding onto their hopes because he’s come so far.

Do you think he can make it to the top and surpass Justin Bieber to become the most viewed video of all time?

[Novo]

Beliebers get the **** over yourselves gangnam style is gonna win whether you like it or not it's the rate of the views that count not the number of views you dickheads and stop replying to every hater comment that pops up to get attention nobody cares and you're not saving the ****ing world just respect haters opinions and deal with it you're only hurting yourselves besides when you say mean things to haters YOU are a hater and stop saying you're gonna marry him he's with someone get over it

[Matt]

it'll obviously happen one day. It's #2 of ALL TIME after just 3 months...

It'll probably happen by next week, was just touching 600m when I last checked a couple of days ago

Sooner the better obvs :D

[Smithy]

Does nooelse think it sounds exactly like hey baby :suspect:

[Shaun]

don't think bruce channel was korean, pet

[Smithy]

not that version :hmph:

EzaProlsvkk

[Shaun]

apart from the long HEEEEEEEEEEEY i really don't see it

[Smithy]

Just became the most watched youtube video ever too, passing Baby by Justin Bieber over 805,000,000 in ~ 6 months :o

[Saph]

I hate this song so much

[Marc]

I thought it already was before today

[BBfanUSA]

Justin Bieber fans are probably jealous right now as we speak.

I HATE his fans so much. Worst kind of people out there.

I heard on the news today that with every passing generation We are getting dumber and dumber, I think Bieber's fans are proof of that. (Well them and the swag generation)

I do kinda like Gangham Style but I don't think it's that special. I love how what most people think is a bad song is being beat by an even worse song to more people.

[Jake.]

Stupid song

[rk3388]

this has unfairly few views

:joker:

[Marcus.]

love the song

[Shaun]

:joker:

LOL

[Samuel.]

Watched this when it had under a million views :hipster:

[Marc]

Samuel is the oracle of all up and coming YT videos

[King Gizzard]

holy **** it isn't far off (in it's own viewing figures) 1bn views

[Novo]

must be some sort of mistake in the system, it couldn't have got more views then Biebs just sit back and wait for youtube to sort it all out

[King Gizzard]

PSY's Gangnam Style is 1st video in history to pass one billion views. It gets 6.5 million views per day - or 76.4 view per second.

,

[Me. I Am Salman]

Wow.

[Samuel.]

Yep http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0

Lul at the little dancing PSY next to the view count.

[Shaun]

amazing

although I was in Primark earlier and I saw a HEY SEXY LADY t-shirt and felt a little sick

[Shaun]

(it had a horse-dancing silhouette, it wasn't just a random slogan)

oh dear people actually still listen to this

Psy's 1 Billion Gangnam Style Hits Could Earn $8m from YouTube Alone

Psy's 1 Billion Gangnam Style Hits Could Earn $8m from YouTube Alone

With Psy's Gangnam Style being the first uploaded video to reach 1 billion views, one's mind wanders to the financial implications for the Korean rapper. Given the advertising opportunity for videos with a high hit count, Psy is prime real location for such ventures.

"I've seen a statistic which reckons the one song will have generated something like $8m [£5m] by the end of the year from money that comes directly from YouTube through advertising plus download sales, its uses in adverts and TV programmes," Chris Cooke, business editor of the CMU music news site, told the BBC. "It shows that YouTube - which is a free-to-use as a promotional platform for the music labels - can lead to substantial income. Should every artist be trying to think of a funny video that will go viral and be mimicked? I don't know whether it's a template that can be copied, but it certainly shows how quickly an eye-catching clip can spread thanks to social networks and YouTube."

Another aspect of the video's success is the videos that accompany it. From soldiers in the Middle East, to the wonderful world of Minecraft, fans have mimicked Gangnam style, leading traffic back to the original video, which of course, helped it clamber over the unprecedented 1 billion mark.

Not really it's just crazy how well it's done

[Benjamin]

Back at #2 on charts, could possibly make it back to #1 this week as sales are usually lower and closer.

[Shaun]

hit 2 billion the other day :worry:

[Saph]

possibly the ****test song of the 21st century

[Marsh.]

I appreciate novelty songs/acts as much as anyone else for a bit of a laugh on youtube but who takes them seriously enough to buy them? :umm2:
It's not actual music.

[Z]

He'll be laughing all the way to the bank

[Pete.]

Awful awful song :worry:
