PSY's Gangnam Style music video hits 1billion views on Youtube

South Korean pop sensation, PSY, has done something no other artist has ever done before. Yesterday Friday December 21, 2012,  PSY's music video for Gangnam Style exceeded 1 billion views on YouTube, becoming the first video to ever do so in YouTube's history.

Google reports that Gangnam Style sees about 7 million views a day... no small feat from a man who was a complete unknown Stateside just a few months ago. 
"Honestly, when I made this video I didn't even expect 1 million views, because this is off my sixth album in Korea, so I just hoped it would be huge there," PSY recently told MTV News. "I didn't even think about any other countries; I just did my job and waited and watched. And, you know, today, I'm still wondering and analyzing its success. Because I've done this thing many times, this dance, this album, this video ... this one just became something else entirely."

      Are you new to the internet or just dumb??
      *sigh* go to youtube.com and when u get ther, u'll see the search box on top, type in gangnam style and on your keyboard, press *enter*
      You will be introduced to a page displaying several results,
      Click on the seemingly most relevant.

    Till 2day I can't stl understand d hype over ds song..when I watched it,I wept for d 4mins,25secs of my life I wldnt b getting bak!
    Or mayb I watched d wrong version?..wow!d video aint worth watching twice.
    Same view I hold on D'banj's 'Top of d world'(I know I'm gonna get lambasted 4 ds buh 2 hell wt pplez thots)..I couldn't get 2 d end of dat song b4 deleting it.let's b honest wt ourselves,if ds was d kinda songs D'banj wz reeling out b4 he scooted 2 Kanye,he wld b a relatively unknown artist tl now..not hating,just stating.
    I'm not sayin he shld go bak 2 Don Jazzy,buh d dudez been spewing out crappy songs dz days.
    He had beta go bak 2 d drawing board and get his groove back.hav alwez been a D'banj fan or rather had a crush on him,buh wt his song dz days,NO FRIGGING WAY!!

    Unexpected things happen sometimes, because there is nothing special about that song or the video. But most of the popularity is due to the fact that most people just wanna see the video that's so popular and not that its too special.

    when baba God is ready to bless you, nobody and no principality can stand in ur way.

    By every standard psy cannot rap, sing or dance, that dance is a stupid dance. God, the Almighty Father, the beginning and the end, the Alfa and Omega says its time to bless psy.

    Japan President danced this same dance with the man in question in the video, he featured in "Ellen Degeneres show, and had an intervie on CNN...
