Psy’s song was named after one of the wealthier regions in Seoul, the Gangnam District of Seoul. Psy made the video to mock the widespread consumerism in the border of said district. “Without Psy’s witty dance moves, the video would not have become a hit,” Visible Measure’s spokesman, Matt Fiorentino said.

Aside from setting a new record as Youtube’s Most Liked video, the “Gangnam Style” video has reached the top of many international billboard charts. The song reached number two on the US Hot 100, after spending seven long weeks as a runner-up to Maroon 5’s “One More Night.” Just this September, the song also topped the British pop charts.
