Its getting close but not there yet. What am I talking about? The official video from the Furious 7 soundtrack.
At time of going to press it was at 2,902,472,946 views (ish);
'Gangnam Style' by PSY, was launched 4 years ago and has just 5 million less views. As I mentioned back in 2014, Gangnam Style Breaks YouTube, and FYI, it is still a very catchy tune:
Justin Bieber comes third with his single 'Sorry' with only 300 million less, although it should be noted that the video is for a music single, not a movie, nor for a tribute to a dead actor. As I am not a teenage girl I am not qualified to judge Justin's talents, sufficed to say, 'well done young man'. Oh, and he isn't even in the video!
Which is a mere 300 million more than Maroon 5's 'Sugar' ;
So I guess we can conclude that music is the reason most people flock to YouTube. YouTube is wanted more for it's audio than it's video - interesting, very interesting!

Gangnam Style Breaks YouTube
You may have noticed that I have been a tad heavy on the posting of videos recently, and no, that is not going to change in the near future! In fact, as I was scrolling through my Google+ account today I stumbled across something that I found very interesting.
Gangnam Style by PSY has the highest number of views of any YouTube video. Ever.
So many views, in fact, that Google had to rewrite the code for the YouTube counter!
Whilst they rewrote the code they also put in a fun little 'doohickey' that spins the number like a one-armed bandit.

So Gangnam Style now has..... wait for it.... 2,151,949,101 views.
Yes. 2 BILLION views and counting.
That is literally phone number numbers where I come from.
Here is the video in case you want to go and check it out yourself;

Gangnam Style - Whats it all about?
My four year old son just adores Gangnam style. For a child who has had language difficulties, the phrase 'gangnam style' comes out of his mouth far too often!
I myself found the music and the video to be fun and interesting, but that's also true for me regarding a line of marching ants on the side-walk, documentaries by Louis Theroux , and of course, the internet.
So what does PSY (the creator and lead man of Gangnam Style) do that drew over 1,500,000,000 views on YouTube?
The video below shows PSY teaching a journalist from the serious UK newspaper The Guardian how to do the Gangnam Style dance. In the clip he explains why the video went viral so easily - it's fun and easy to do. If you can connect with the person on the screen in front of you and say 'I could do that' then you are more than likely to watch the video and pass it along to your friends.
So the tune is catchy and the dance is easy to copy and change to your own desires - is that enough? No, there has to be an element of luck.
This guy PSY seems to have it - and (more) good luck to him.
How deep has 'Gangnam Style' entered into society ? Well, a few people may have taken it too far:
A flash in the pan? I think not. In fact the statistics show that it is as strong as ever, despite everyone and their dog making their own version.

A populare meme
A new fashion icon, undone bow-tie, dress shirt and cuff links t-shirt - very PSY!
Head of the UN and PSY
Automatic free entrance to the psych ward in many countries in the world
