It has been a short 5 months since Psy unleashed “Gangnam Style” on the world. Just one short month ago it became the most viewed video in the history of Youtube and on Friday the 21st, it was officially announced to be the first video to ever break the one billion mark in total views. When MTV broke the news about Psy being the first person to break the one billion views mark, it was understandable that Psy had a hard time coming up with something to say about the incredible accomplishment. What makes Psy’s success all that much more interesting s that he never expected any of it.

“I can’t compare it to anything else!” he laughed. “In 2012, I experienced so many things; it’s been a tremendous year, but to accomplish this, it’s really something that stands out. Because it all began with YouTube, and to have [the video] reach 1 billion views … I don’t think even I can break that record!”

Justin Bieber has been dethroned as the reigning king of YouTube as rapper Psy and his Gangnam Style become the most watched video in YouTube history, with 806 million views to date.

Justin Bieber began his career when he was discovered on YouTube back in 2008 and had held the record of most views with 804 million until this October when Psy earned his place in the Guinness World Records for “most liked YouTube video ever.”

Hailing from South Korea, Psy, whose real name is Park Jae-sang, took the world by storm with his 4 minute hit video and his serious dance moves. His song ‘Gangnam Style’ is named for a neighborhood in Seoul. Psy told CNN that “I described the district as normal and calm in the daytime and going insane in the nighttime. That’s what the lyrics are about.”

Psy recently appeared at the American Music Awards to perform a surprise duet with 90’s rapper and fellow dancer MC Hammer.

90’s rapper MC Hammer joined Korean pop superstar Psy on stage at the American Music Awards held last night at the Nokia Theatre, to perform a very special version of Gangnam style.

Psy had the honors of closing down the AMA’s last night and took to the stage in a pair of black ‘Hammer’ pants. Half way through his hit song Gangnam style, the singer shouted ‘Stop, Hammertime’ and was joined on stage by the iconic Hammer himself, 50 year old Stanley Kirk Burrell. The two took on an energetic performance of the Gangnam style dance, much to the delight of a star studded audience. Heidi Klum and Kerrie Washington could be seen singing along from the crowd and performer Will.i.am, who introduced the number appeared extremely enthusiastic about the performance.

Psy, whose crazy pop video has had almost 800 million views, made it into the Guinness Book of World Records this morning for the most liked video in Youtube history.
