Remember ‘Gangnam Style’? Ten years on, the runaway hit still holds a YouTube record

Psy’s “Gangnam Style,” the hit song no one could escape back in 2012, still continues to charm.

The South Korean pop star’s ubiquitous pop song marked its 10th anniversary Friday, with seemingly no signs of giving up its spot among YouTube’s most-watched music videos.

A member of the streaming platform’s Billion Views Club, “Gangnam Style” now boasts 4.4 billion views and ranks alongside the videos for Mark Ronson’s “Uptown Funk,” Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again” and Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You.” The most-watched YouTube music video overall remains Luis Fonsi’s “Despacito.”
