Whop..whop..whop..Woppa Gangnam Style!

Oh baby! No, they didn't *dramatically raise my forefinger* 


Hey, folks! So, unlike my previous blog posts which were pretty much about weird (and cool :P - yeah right!) gadgets, this time around I'll be talking bout ASIAN INVASION. Yeah, you heard me! I bet by now, everyone must be rolling their eyes to the back of their brains looking at my title. Well, guess what!? I'm sorry, I really am. NOT. MUAHAHA. 

The very much viral video of Oppa Gangnam Style by PSY is now THE MOST WATCHED VIDEO in  YOUTUBE HISTORY! 


The Biebs may want to brush up on his dance moves or bring back his oh -so - famous hair which he flips every 5 seconds. In just 4 MONTHS, Korean pop star, PSY has outdanced (or shall I say horse-danced) the teen heartthrob all the way to the top of YouTube's charts.

Psy's strangely addictive (or to some [me], guilty pleasure -) video has just surpassed Justin Bieber's "Baby" to become the most watched video in YouTube history, according to video data tracker ChannelMeter and a Saturday morning tweet from the Korean singer.

Later that day, YouTube made it official, proclaiming Psy's "Gangnam Style" the most viewed video in its history, racking up more than 805 MILLION YouTube views. Bieber's two year - old "Baby" the previous reigning champ, sits at close to 804 million views. 

Hold up peeps. The phenomena doesn't stop just right there. Get this. YouTube trends manager Kevin Allocca said, "Each day, "Gangnam Style" is still being watched between 7 and 10 million times."

ChannelMeter has some more bad news for JB. After much studying and analysing months of viewing trend data, the company is projecting that "Gangnam Style" will leave "Baby" cry in the dust and horsedance all the way to become the first video ever to reach 1 BILLION YouTube views. 



"Gangnam Style" should surpass the milestone on December 16 by the company's calculations. Baby's view count, meanwhile, will stay relatively flat - unless of course, Beliebers join force to support their 'man'. Who knows, they might seek "RihannaNavis" (WHOOPS!) help to win this battle.

Anywhoooo, who knew Asians (specifically Koreans) would one day become this HUUUUGE and influential in the showbiz (which they already are now). As for me, thanx but no thanx, I'll stick to my very hardcore, rock bands. And 1D. And Taylor Swift. And Rihanna.

That's about it from me this week. Stay young beautiful people. 

Much love,
Siti Muzlifah
