The global star’s new song “Gentleman” is going viral at an intimidating speed.

The new sensational music video broke a Guinness World Records as it is the most viewed online video clip in the span of 24 hours.

On April 25, the news on the hit rapper was announced on the official webpage, guinessworldrecords.com – “PSY has secured another GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title with his follow-up single, “Gentleman”, which is the Most viewed video online in 24 hours.”

This is the fourth time for Psy to break the records on the Guinness book. Before this was his “Gangnam Style” that did the job.

“Gangnam Style” back then broke the record by gaining the largest number of viewers and Likes as an online music video, which was also the first one to reach 1 billion viewers.

There seems to be no end to the rising number as “Gangnam Style” has now raked in 1.57 billion clicks from all corners of the world.
