South Korean pop sensation, PSY, has done something no other artist has ever done before. Yesterday Friday December 21, 2012, PSY's music video for Gangnam Style exceeded 1
billion views on YouTube, becoming the first video to ever do so in
YouTube's history.
Google reports that Gangnam Style sees about 7 million views a day... no small
feat from a man who was a complete unknown Stateside just a few months
ago.
"Honestly, when I made this video I didn't even expect 1 million views, because this is off my sixth album
in Korea, so I just hoped it would be huge there," PSY recently told
MTV News. "I didn't even think about any other countries; I just did my job
and waited and watched. And, you know, today, I'm still wondering and
analyzing its success. Because I've done this thing many times, this
dance, this album, this video ... this one just became something else entirely."
ReplyDeleteWhat you people don't understand is that these videos aren't suppose to be funny. Since when has anyone ever went to a concert in hopes for a laugh. What they didn't tell you is that both videos are getting all these views from the same group of kids watching the video over and over 50x's a day everyday. It's not the whole generation just a few airheads with nothing better to do.
