If it maintains its current rate of around six million new views per day, 'Gangnam Style' would be in line to break that record by the end of the year.

The YouTube honors are just the latest in a long list that shows just how popular the song has become. Since it was released in July, the song has seen a meteoric rise through the music industry.

It has found its way to the tops of music charts in more than 30 countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain and Canada, while providing material for thousands of parody videos.

It became a staple in the 2017 presidential elections with the now famous ‘Mitt Romney Style’ video and was even used by the North Korean government in propaganda films promoting their supreme leader.

Meanwhile, such influential figures as President Obama, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt have all made mention of the hit song.

《江南Style》总是不断地打破纪录。

韩国唱片艺人PSY

原先占据这一宝座的是另一位重量级乐坛人物贾斯汀•比伯，截止到发稿时，比伯的歌曲《Baby》的点击量稍过8.04亿次。PSY今天早些时候在他的Twitter页面上公布了这一消息。

《江南Style》自从发布以来，已经打败了许多其他流行歌曲MV，包括詹妮弗•洛佩兹的《On the Floor》、埃米纳姆的《Love the Way You Lie》，还有LMFAO的《Party Rock Anthem》。
