Psy, the famed South Korean rapper who created the silly yet infectious "Gangnam Style" horse dance has set another record as the 5th most viral video of all time. He bumped Justin Bieber's "Baby" video down to 6th.
Newmediarockstars.com prepared a chart that showed Psy's ranking within a study done back in May by Visible Measures on the virality of Kony 2012.
Kony 2012 hit 100 million page view within 6 days of publishing. Sitting at the No. 2 spot, Britain's Got Talent's Susan Boyle gained 100 million page views in 9 days. Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" took 18 days to reach that point, while Rebecca Black's infamous "Friday" music video took 45 days. Psy sits nicely at 5th for reaching 100 million views in 52 days. Bieber's "Baby" took 56 days. Just to note, Miley Cyrus' "Party in the USA" follows very closely behind Bieber at 57 days.
Social media is a powerful tool and crosses all borders, therefore giving Psy the opportunity to cross even the language barrier.
The details of the study from May can be found on the Visible Measures website, which does not include Psy.
Psy and Bieber now share the same label family together with The Wanted and Carly Rae Jepsen. Their manager, Scooter Braun, seems to be enjoying the time spent with Psy while he is in America.
Braun tweeted on September 5, "@psy_oppa gets to LA 2day. Everyone show him a warm welcome...and for u fans of kpop dont worry Im not changing anything. i love what u love"
They attended this year's MTV VMA 2012 awards this year. He even took the stage at the pre-show and showed the audience some horse dancing.
Gangnam Style is taking over Hollywood!
