It was only a matter of time, and we’re happy this happened on a slow news day over the weekend: Psy’s viral music video hit “Gangnam Style” just passed Justin Bieber’s “Baby” to become the most popular video in the history of YouTube. The video has now been watched over 805 million times.

The video made its YouTube debut on July 15 and currently has over 5.3 million likes and about 320,000 dislikes. Bieber’s “Baby” – which had a nice run at the top of YouTube’s charts since its debut in February 2010 – only has about 1.4 million likes and a whopping 3.2 million dislikes. At least Bieber’s corporate parents won’t be too unhappy about this development: since September, Psy and Bieber work for the same music label.

Thanks to Psy’s (and his management’s) relatively hands-off approach to fan-made remakes and parodies, the song itself has likely been heard quite a bit more often on YouTube. According to one metric, these fan remakes have garnered over 220 million views. The first live performance of the song on Korean TV also has a full 152 million views.

With the exception of “Charlie bit my finger – again,” every single video in the YouTube top 30 is now a music video and sadly, this list also includes the “Tootin’ Bathtub Baby Cousins” with 251 million views and “The Gummy Bear Song” with 265 million views. We’ll leave it up to future anthropologists to decide what this all means…

True that...

You be correct.

Population of China alone don cover everything, not to talk of India, Pakistan and other Asian countries with huge population.

funny enough, I no sabi the meaning and I de dance the song

Which one con be gangan abi na gangam style again..

I wonder what took the video so long.I thought it would surpass it the first 3 months. bieber fans dey vex sha, the kids but the ratio of likes to dislikes for 'Baby' on YouTube is EPIC.

Less friction to your hinge joints and sockets PSY

Imagine a dog sat on your inga jogging yoga. Go pee on Johnnie. To you are on a poop dog in a no job. Buy me all your machines I need to go watching in your jaw. Good on ban John Indian yoga. Not a sauna air. Now Jan ate all my cooked Dansani cuz I'm a heir. Kapeesh a key though Johnie wasn't there in the sauna air. Cool on sauna air. Adam there was, Saddam said oh woah. Couldn't no hey could I borrow, hey


Now listen to Gangnam style and read the above paragraph again for it to make sense.

I missed the part where gangnam style went from being a joke to being real.

one of big factors that made the song popular was becos some hollywood celebrities who said on a tv show that they love the dance. that drove pple to view wat d dance was. as for me, i press the dislike button. imagine tom cruise or oprah talking about azonto or kukere, tell me if it wont make 200M views.. now that gangnam dance hit the front page. it will get more views. wont be suprise if it gets 1.5 billion views by december 2013.

I swear I posted this first so how comes I am seeing it on front page written by sm1 else? Dis is not fair...... Moderators...... Thunder fire una...... As early as 6 am I created a richer topic on this song.... How do the moderators explain this? Where is that SeUN? bia come and explain it ohhhhh..... Not fair atal..........

Heyyyy sexy lady op op op

afam4eva: What's so special about the video?

More than you could see!

afam4eva: What's so special about the video?

Afam, leave that thing. The first day I heard the music in my car, I kinda liked it till I knew it were Asians that sang it. There's something special about the music that it tunes you into the mood, unfortunately, I sometimes stream the music from YouTube when I'm driving home in the chaotic traffic.

It became at first the most 'liked' many weeks ago and now the most viewed video, man that's epic.
PSY did a live performance at the American Music Awards last week with MC hammer and that was amazing to see with gangnam style mixed with too legit to quit esp for those who know Hammer, cool stuff!

Gabriel_sylar: What do u xpect there are more dan 2billions asians on earth...and asian hit will surely pull dis kinda traffic

2 billion Asians you said? Well, just the Nations of China and India have like 2.5 billion people.

And you still have high population countries like Indonesia 0.3 million, Japan, Pakistan, Bangladesh a.s.f.

WAIT!!! i thought Lady Gaga has the most watched video on youtube with the song Alejandro which has over a billion views
