SEOUL:
“Gangnam Style”, a 2012 global sensation by South Korean singer-rapper Psy, reached another milestone today as the song’s popularity has continued for more than a decade.

The music video for the song exceeded five billion views on YouTube, reported Yonhap news agency.

Unveiled in July 2012, the main track from Psy’s sixth full-length album became a global sensation as its comical music video and the singer-rapper’s trademark horse dance went viral.

The song made him the first K-pop act to rise to No 2 on Billboard’s Hot 100 main singles chart. Psy spent a total of seven weeks in the position.

Its music video became the first video to exceed YouTube’s view limit when it surpassed two billion views in May 2014, prompting the service to upgrade its counter. The video later surpassed three billion in November 2017 and four billion in March 2021.
