About
As of 2026, it's 14 years old.
Gangnam Style is the song that broke YouTube — literally, as it became the first video to hit a billion views and forced the site to upgrade its view counter, which hadn't anticipated numbers that large. PSY's gloriously absurd horse-riding dance and satirical take on Seoul's posh Gangnam district became a global phenomenon nobody saw coming.
A non-English song from South Korea conquering the entire planet was a genuine turning point, a preview of the global music future to come.
Absurd, infectious, and record-shattering, Gangnam Style is the song that broke the internet's counter and proved a viral smash could come from anywhere on Earth.
