PSY's second hit music video, "Gentleman," may be hitting its first billion mark sooner than expected! "Gentleman", which caused an international buzz starting from its release in April last year, now has 700,493,429 and counting on YouTube!

The song continues to receive a lot of love from fans, music enthusiasts, and new converts due to its catchy tune and fun dance routine. In 2013, it charted first on many year-end list as the most watch video in the world. And even though PSY has already dished out a fresh, new style in his latest track "Hangover", many still can't get over his more iconic songs such as "Gentleman" and "Gangnam Style", both of which largely contributed to the international fame PSY is enjoying nowadays.

Of course, PSY's music videos would be amiss without famous cameo appearances. In "Gentleman", PSY dances along together with Korea's sexy siren Ga In of Brown Eyed Girls. The songstress' appearance, too, caused quite a stir.

Four days after "Gentleman" was released, it already garnered 100 million views. By April 22, 2013, the music video hit 200 million views and every month since it would gain an additional 100 million views. By December 2013, "Gentleman" already raked in 600 million views, making it the most viewed video of the year.

PSY's music video is gaining exponential success and popularity in YouTube beginning with the incredibly contagious track "Gangnam Stlye", which had already surpassed the two billion viewing mark. This only shows that PSY is not only competing with other artists, but he is also competing with himself-consistently setting his bar higher and higher with every release.

On June 9, PSY unveiled his much-awaited music video and song "Hangover". By June 21, the number of views for the music video has gone up to 74 million. Other than getting more viewers by the second, PSY's "Hangover" is also performing well in the charts, recently peaking at number 26 on Billboard's Singles chart.

Will "Hangover" and "Gentleman" be able to surpass the success of "Gangnam Style"?

Nevertheless, a congratulations is in order!
