Gangnam Style reaches 1 billion views

9:43 pm - 12/23/2012

The thunderous gallop of the viral hit "Gangam Style" cannot be stopped.

Less than a month after becoming the most-watched YouTube video in history, Psy's music video became the first ever to surpass 1 billion views on the Google-owned video website.

As of Friday morning, the video had notched almost 400,000 views above that 10-figure threshold.

It's as much a milestone for the Korean pop star -- who's earning piles of money off of all those clicks -- as it is for YouTube. "Gangnam Style" is arguably best-known song of 2012, and it's hard to imagine the song that will earn that distinction in 2013 of getting this kind of recognition without a lot of help from YouTube or another online platform.

Everyone's probably over this song, but I thought a billion views is worth posting about x)

I was hoping this article would get posted. Whether you are done with the song or not, at least acknowledge the accomplishment. One billion views is astounding.
