Well, it happened. Gangnam Style is now the most viewed video on Youtube, having just passed Justin Bieber's "Baby" at over 800 million views. And I have to say, I welcome this turn of events.
It's hard to explain, but my attitude is similar to when I decided to embrace the popularity of Lady Gaga and LMFAO.

And, as you move from Lady Gaga to LMFAO, and now Gangnam Style, it shows the mainstream's increasing embrace of the ridiculousness and wtf nature of the internet that I'm so fond of. So in celebration, let's stop worrying about things making sense and enjoy one more round of that Korean pop maniac:
Interesting.. But still "PSY Gangnam Style" dominates in youtube. In 2014 this video has been viewed 2150 million times by the users. You can view the latest Most Viewed YouTube Videos at statsmonkey.
