Gangnam Style Officially The Most Viewed Youtube Video

It’s official folks!  PSY’s Gangnam Style has finally passed Justin Bieber’s ‘Baby’ in the most viewed Youtube videos list.  PSY’s video currently has 814 million views as of 02:15 EST, growing at least 5 million views per day so the next question is, when will this pop sensation break a billion views?  At the current rate of views we could have our first Youtube video with one billion views by Christmas although it would be more ‘fitting’ if it were to happen on the 21st of December 2012.  Of course if you believe in any Mayan Prophecy we might not get to see this great song reach a billion views which scares me more than the actual prophecy!  The truly amazing part of this story is that Gangnam Style was uploaded on the 15th July 2012 compared to Justin Bieber’s Baby being uploaded in February 2010; That’s an average of 6 million views a day for Gangnam Style, 250,000 views per hour or 4,000 views per minute. Quite incredible.

PSY also set a Guiness World Record for the most liked video on youtube (currently 5.4 million likes) with Gangnam Style of course.
