It was clear at the very beginning that this video has all chances to become most viewed of all time on YouTube. And lately it has happened! During the Thanksgiving weekend PSY’s unforgettable music video dethroned Justin Bieber’s “Baby” and reached the very top of YouTube mountain.
The world-known hit “Gangnam Style” was posted only five months ago – on the 15th of July. To realize fully how impetuous the rise was, compare the success of this song with Bieber’s “Baby” popularity, posted on the 9th of February in 2010. The last needed three years to reach the heights which Gangnam has got in several months.
The third most viewed music video on YouTube is Jennifer Lopez’s “On the Floor” (625 million views), posted in March last year.
The current leader of this hit-list was viewed 830 million times, when Justin Bieber’s Baby – 805 million. But Gangnam is continuing gathering views of YouTube visitors and amassed near 46 million views only in five past days. During the same period Bieber’s hit got only 3 million views.
If the PSY’s video goes on in this way, it will break 1 billion view mark this week and in the history of YouTube it’ll be for the first time!
