It also broke Big Bang‘s “Blue” and “Fantastic Baby’s” record of 8 Million views in less than a week.

PSY’s “Gangnam Style” has been camping at the top of “YouTube’s 100 chart” and is currently ranked at #3. The music video is also #1 on YouTube’s “Popular Videos Around The Web.”

The “PSY Syndrome” as it is now dubbed has been spreading worldwide with singers T-Pain, Robbie Williams and Josh Groban mentioning it on Twitter. It has also been featured on the popular New York blog Gawker, on CNN, the L.A Times, Billboard and the Wall Street Journal websites.

If views continue to soar, PSY could possibly be able to break the 36 million view record of Big Bang’s “Fantastic Baby.”
