Psy Breaks YouTube Record With New Video
. After the Korean rapper's new single leaked last Thursday (April 11), one day earlier than originally expected, Psy revealed the "Gentleman" video Saturday (April 13) to a sea of� well, reaction. The video proceeded to break YouTube's single-day views record, racking up 22.5 million hits in its first 24 hours and over 60 million views by Monday morning. As the introduction to Psy for many non-Koreans, the success of "Gangnam Style" was spurred on by its addictive music video, which created some interesting new dance moves on its way to becoming the most-viewed YouTube video in the site's history. But the "Gangnam" video wasn't exactly the "these people are craaaazy" mentality many westerners copped upon first views; rather, Psy's outlandish antics, including mock-riding a horse and rapping while sitting on the toilet, were overall parodies and satire on people seeking to live the lifestyle of those in Gangnam, the supposed place-to-be district in Seoul, South Korea.
