“Gangnam Style” gained an audience outside of PSY’s native South Korea in early August and had a meteoric rise to the top spot.
It doesn’t seem that people are tiring of it. According to YouTube, the video is watched between 7 million and 10 million times a day around the world, from India to Brazil to the United States.
Bieber had held the record since July 2010 when he unseated Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.”
