South Korean pop
sensation, PSY, has done something no other artist has ever done before.
Yesterday Friday December 21, 2012, PSY's music video for Gangnam Style
exceeded 1 billion views on YouTube, becoming the first video to ever do so in
YouTube's history.
Google reports that Gangnam Style sees about 7 million views a day... no small feat from a man who was a complete unknown Stateside just a few months ago.

"Honestly, when I made this video I didn't even expect 1 million
views, because this is off my sixth album in Korea, so I just hoped
it would be huge there," PSY recently told MTV News. "I didn't even
think about any other countries; I just did my job and waited and
watched. And, you know, today, I'm still wondering and analyzing its success.
Because I've done this thing many times, this dance, this album, this video ...
this one just became something else entirely."
