SOUTH Korean rapper Psy's new video "Gentleman" rocketed up the YouTube heights with more than 82 million views yesterday, chasing the success of his megahit "Gangnam Style" after smashing the previous record for first-day views for songs.
"Gangnam Style," which holds the YouTube record for most views ever with more than 1.5 billion, made the corpulent Korean a global star and one of the best-known faces to come out of the growing K-pop music scene.
The video to "Gentleman" racked up more than 20 million hits in the first 24 hours after its release on Saturday night. That easily outstripped the 8 million views for Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" in its first 24 hours.
"51 million views in 40 hours!!My God!!" Psy tweeted on Monday.
The song was also climbing music charts around the world, hitting 8th in Britain and 7th in Australia, according to the Apple store's iTunes ranking, and holding top place in most of Scandinavia. It ranked 21st for songs overall, compared with 90th place on Saturday before the video was released.
