PSY takes #1 and #10 for the most watched video on YouTube!
[매일신문 뉴미디어부] The world star PSY’s news on his YouTube ranking is drawing much attention around the world.
Amongst rank 1 to 10, PSY’s videos took #1 and #10 for the most watched video globally on YouTube.
YouTube, the world’s largest video-sharing website, has a ranking chart for ‘the most watched video’. And currently PSY’s “GANGNAM STYLE” is at the very top, while his “GENTLEMAN” music video stands at #10.
This is even more significant because the ranking chart takes into consideration every video that was ever posted on YouTube since the launch of the website. PSY successfully listed his name on the chart twice, the first for a South Korean artist, and his viewer number for “GANGNAM STYLE” is far ahead of any other videos: 1.7 billion views.
The mega-hit music video that surpassed 1.7 billion viewers on July 5 boasts the viewer number that is twice as many as Justien Bieber’s “BABY”, which has 870 million viewers. The gap of viewer number between #1 and #2 is thus huge.
“GENTLEMAN”, which ranked #10, is continuously raking in more viewers. Currently 490 million clicks were recorded, and the video is expected to gain more viewers and reach 500 million in a few days.
PSY’s “GENTLEMAN” has ranked within U.K.’s TOP 100 Single for 15 weeks in a row, while in America’s Billboard HOT 100 he kept his name on the list for 14 consecutive weeks.
To the news, Internet users commented, “PSY’s YouTube ranking is just amazing”, “LIKE Psy’s YouTube ranking!” and “It’s no surprise PSY is at the top of the list.”
