‘Gangnam Style’ now most-viewed YouTube video of all time

By Dylan Stableford, Yahoo! News | The Sideshow

Congratulations, Internet.

"Gangnam Style," the unlikely smash hit by South Korean rapper Psy, has surpassed Justin Bieber's "Baby" to become the most-watched YouTube video of all time.

The video--featuring Psy's meme-ready dance moves--has racked up more than 815 million views since it was uploaded to YouTube on July 15. Bieber's "Baby," which has been watched more than than 803 million times since it was posted in February 2010.

"#GangnamStyle just became the most watched video @YouTube!" Psy (real name: Park Jae-Sang) tweeted on Saturday. "#History."

"Gangnam Style" already holds the title for "most liked" video in YouTube history with more than 2 million "likes," according to the Guinness Book of World Records, which officially recognized the achievement in September. The video for LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" is a distant second with more than 1.6 million "likes." Bieber's "Baby" is no. 3 in that category.

But true Beliebers, fear not: The 18-year-old pop star is not taking the "most viewed" loss lying down, tweeting a shirtless picture from the gym for his 30 million Twitter followers.

Britney Spears & Psy Do the 'Gangnam Style' Dance on 'Ellen': Watch

by Hugh McIntyre, N.Y.

Ellen DeGeneres never misses a beat when it comes to viral videos, and the afternoon talk show host has done it again. On her show Tuesday (Sept. 11), Ellen brought Psy out to teach Britney Spears his infamous "Gangnam Style" dance, and the results were predictably hilarious.

While chatting with "X Factor" judges Spears and Simon Cowell -- Billboard's current cover star -- about the new season of their Fox reality show (which premieres Sept. 12), the comedic host brought up K-pop sensation Psy, who currently sits atop the Billboard Social 50.

Psy has been steadily rising to fame in the U.S. for the last month, ever since his "Gangnam Style" went viral and he signed with Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun. He recently danced with host Kevin Hart at the MTV Video Music Awards, and even Spears has tweeted about his hit video. "I am LOVING this video -- so fun! Thinking that I should possibly learn the choreography. Anybody wanna teach me?" she wrote in August.

Ellen mentioned the tweet on while interviewing the pop star, before saying, "I've got somebody here to teach you that dance," as Spears smiled and the audience cheered, "Psy, come on out!"

Psy danced out on to the stage, and attempted to teach both Ellen and Britney how to dance "Gangnam Style." Sadly, Cowell decided to stay in his seat while the ladies learned the -- as Psy called it -- cheesy dance. The South Korean rapper instructed Spears and DeGeneres to "bounce like you are riding an invisible horse" as they tried to follow his leg and hand motions.

While dancing "Gangnam Style" isn't easy to do, both women held their own. The most impressive part? That Britney managed to do the dance in six-inch nude pumps, a skill that Psy has yet to demonstrate.
