Gangnam Style just became the first YouTube video to have more than 1,000,000,000 views.
At this point Gangnam Style is utterly ingrained in Internet culture. It’s spawned countless memes and parodies. There are now Gangnam Style merchandise, apps and gear. You don’t hit 1 billion views without becoming a thing.
PSY’s lack of stance on copyrights has led greatly to the video’s success but it doesn’t bring in the cash. That comes from PSY’s commercial deals, YouTube ads, and iTunes says. The AP reported in early December that PSY is said to make $8.1 million this year alone. Not a bad haul for a video that’s only 6 months old.
The video made its YouTube debut on July 15 and surpassed Bieber’s “Baby” video in November– which had a nice run at the top of YouTube’s charts since its debut in February 2010. At least Bieber’s corporate parents won’t be too unhappy about this development: since September, PSY and Bieber work for the same music label.
This is to tell us what originality can bring...be original...stop shooting videos to look western by gathering white and green girls to come and dance naked in your musical videos, it won't help it sell, and even if it does, it won't go beyond the borders....congrats Psy!
Congrats to Gangnam for becoming the most viewed person on youtube.
