Shortly after its official release, in 2012, Psy’s Gangnam Style maintained its pole position as the most viewed music video ever and it was also the first video in Youtube’s history to cross the 1 billion-threshold.
Psy’s hit become so popular that the American programmers were forced to modify the code of the page because the maximum numbers of views was 2,177,483,647 and Gangnam Style crossed the barrier within weeks.
After so many years in the top, Gangnam Style was ultimately dethroned by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s hit See You Again.
The ballad was part of the Fast and Furious 7 soundtrack and gathered a total of 2,895,373,709 views.
Psy dropped on the second position with 2,894,426,475 views.
If we’re going to make a calculation, See You Again was watched for 21.759 years, which is crazy.
If someone had started listening to the song for so many years, he should have press “play” in the Ice Age and complete the listening session like now.
The song was especially written for Fast and Furious 7 and it’s in fact a tribute to actor Paul Walker, the protagonist of the series, who died in a tragic car accident before the filming for the seventh part ended.
See You Again could be soon dethroned by Despacito
Luis Fonsi’s hit has passed 2.5 billion views in just six months and does not show signs of slowing.
