PSY’s “Gangnam Style” is now the most-watched YouTube video of all time. The 4:13 clip from the South Korean rapper has earned approximately 803,761,000 views since it was posted on July 15.
Early on Saturday, that total passed the longtime YouTube champ — the music video for Justin Bieber’s “Baby,” which has garnered 803,732,000 views since its February 2010 release.
“Gangnam Style” already set YouTube’s record for the Most Liked video ever posted to the site, with its total now standing at 5.3 million Likes and 323,000 Dislikes. Bieber’s “Baby” clip has 1.4 million Likes and 3.1 million Dislikes. Bieber’s “Baby” clip enjoyed an impressive run at the top of the YouTube heap, becoming the most-watched video on the site in July 2010. At that time, the clip had collected more than 246 million views to leapfrog over Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.”
“#GangnamStyle just became the most watched video @YouTube!! #History,” PSY posted to Twitter on Saturday morning in celebration of the achievement.
