Psy's new track gets 100 million web views on YouTube
- Published
Psy's new single Gentleman has been viewed on YouTube by more than 100 million people in four days.
The music video was published on 13 April and has since broken the record for first day song views.
The South Korean's follow-up track had around 20 million hits in the first 24 hours.
The previous record for first day views of eight million was set by Justin Bieber's Beauty and a Beat, which was viewed 10.6 million times in 24 hours.
The video features Psy wearing his signature glasses and playing practical jokes on women such as pulling their chairs away as they are about to sit down and increasing the speed on a treadmill while it's being used.
It also shows a new hip swivelling dance move. His previous horse riding move was copied by people all over the world including The Wanted, Britney Spears and US president Barack Obama.
The singer has insisted that he's not trying for another worldwide hit with Gentleman.
He said: 'I've been doing this for 12 years. Would it be fair to call me a one-hit wonder just because my next song falls flat?"
His debut single Gangnam Style became the most-watched YouTube video of all time with more than 1.5 billion views since it was published last July.
