It once again features Psy dancing and wreaking havoc across South Korea, and thrives off of the singer's dance moves and goofy charisma. That blend of humor and catchy beats helped "Gangnam Style" become the first video to pass 1 billion views on YouTube, and played a major part in bringing K-Pop to the US.

via mashable.com

With 432 million views since its July 15 release, “Gangnam Style” has catapulted well into YouTube’s list of 30 most-viewed videos. Psy’s Korean electronica dance hit cracked the top 10 this week at number nine.

The clip previously broke the Guinness World Record for most YouTube “Likes.”

The 327 million additional views since the beginning of September have spawned partially because of countless parodies and Psy’s TV appearances on Saturday Night Live, Today, Ellen and the MTV Video Music Awards.
