While the Philippines (and the
world!) hasn’t fully recovered with Carly Rae Jepsen’s sensational hit ‘Call Me Maybe” just yet, a South Korean
singer by the name of PSY is
catching up quickly with his new single “Gangnam
Style” -- possibly being ‘The Next BIGGEST HIT of 2012’.
YouTube revealed their chart for the
“Most Viewed Videos” and PSY’s “Gangnam Style” music video came out on
top with nearly 300 million views in all categories! It is by far the most
watched video on YouTube, as the second highest viewed clip is Justin Bieber’s
“As Long As You Love Me,” which generated slightly over
54 million views in the same period. Add to that, this viral hit, which has only been available to view
since July 15, has been 'liked' in excess of 2,141,758 times, making it the
most liked video in YouTube history. The
closest competitors for most liked video on YouTube include LMFAO's 'Party Rock
Anthem' with 1,574,963 likes and Justin's Bieber's 'Baby' with 1,327,147 likes.

PSY (real name: Park Jae-Sang) dabbles
in singing, songwriting and rapping. “Gangnam
Style”, his most successful single to date, also marks the first time a
South Korean artist has topped the iTunes charts.
