PSY’s “HANGOVER” Is Ranked 26th in Billboard Hot 100 Chart… First Asian Singer to Come In Top 30 for 3 Consecutive Times
[스타뉴스 = 길혜성 기자] World-star PSY (37, Park Jae Sang) has made his new song “HANGOVER” debut at 26th place in Hot 100, American Billboard’s main single chart.
According to American Billboard’s news about latest charts, which was published on the 19 in the morning (Korean time) on Billboard’s website, PSY’s “HANGOVER” released on the 9 took the 26th place on the latest Hot 100 chart (June 28).
Even though the ranks are officially announced in early morning on every Friday, Billboard has always disclosed the ranks of popular singers and songs a day before, usually in chart-related news. That is how the news that PSY’s “HANGOVER” has taken the 26th place on the chart is unveiled. Since PSY disclosed “HANGOVER” on the 9 this month, he has obtained the right to be ranked on the Billboard chart starting from this week, according to Billboard’s counting method.
Billboard said, “Korean singer PSY debuted on Hot 100 chart with his “HANGOVER” featured by Snoop Dogg, at 26th place. Such high place of “HANGVOER” on the chart is 90% attributable to the song’s power in streaming”. Then, Billboard added, “’HANGOVER’ has recorded 7.3 million streaming on YouTube, etc. in the United States alone”.
The music video of “HANGOVER” was posted on YouTube on the day the music itself was released. As of the 19 in the morning, the music video is recording 70 million views on PSY’s official YouTube channel alone, arousing high interest from fans worldwide once again.
The music of “HANGOVER” that was released on iTunes of different countries in the world has already swept the No.1 in many countries’ Top Singles charts, iTune’s main single chart.
The record of “HANGOVER” has proven PSY’s potential once again, with three of his songs – “Gangnam Style” in 2012, “Gentleman” in 2013, and “HANGOVER” now – having been placed in top 30 on American Billboard’s main single chart in a row. Of course, such a feat has never been achieved by any other Asian singers so far. PSY’s “Gangnam Style” and “Gentleman” took the 2nd and 5th place on Billboard Hot 100 chart, respectively.
PSY’s “HANGOVER” is a fun hip-hop music featured by world-famous hip-hop musician Snoop Dogg.
Meanwhile, PSY had a special performance to cheer the Korean national soccer team, on Yeongdong-daero located in Gangnam-gu, in the morning on the 18, right before Korean team’s first-round H group match against Russia for the 2014 World Cup games.
