Gangnam Style breaks record and Kim Kardashian tops the Google search frequency

PSY

South Korean rapper PSY’s “Gangnam Style” has become the most watched video in YouTube history. On Saturday, the video had been viewed 805 million times, surpassing Justin Bieber’s “Baby,” which had 803 million views, the YouTube trends blog reported. The 34-year-old rapper has become a global phenomenon with his catchy song and signature horse-riding dance moves. “Gangnam Style” gained an audience outside of PSY’s native South Korea in early August and had a meteoric rise to the top spot.

And it doesn’t seem that people are tiring of it.  According to YouTube, the video is watched between seven million and ten million times a day around the world, from India to Brazil to the United States. Bieber had held the record since July 2010 when he unseated Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.”

Kim Kardashian

Reality star Kim Kardashian has topped bing.com’s list of most searched celebrities online, beating last year’s winner, singer Justin Bieber. Bieber has come down to number two, while others who have made it to the top 10 include Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift, reports contactmusic.com.

Also receiving special mentions were Beyonce and Jay Z, their baby’s arrival was crowned the most-searched celebrity event of the year, followed by the birth of Jessica Simpson’s daughter Maxwell, and Whitney Houston’s death. The US presidential election, the London Summer Olympic Games, and South Korean rapper Psy’s Gangnam Style music video all made the list in the category of most popular news stories.
