But nobody expected anyone abroad to notice. Released July 15, 2012, “Gangnam Style” immediately reached the top of South Korea’s music charts, as one would expect from PSY (real name Park Jae-sang), a rapper boasting nationwide success over the previous decade. Alas, Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s plodding Fast & Furious ballad “ See You Again” finally leap-frogged over “Gangnam Style”-a changing of the guard that arrives just as PSY’s hit celebrates its fifth anniversary. Korean pop star PSY had held the title since November 2012, when he became the first person to reach 1 billion views, then 2 billion, breaking YouTube’s view counter in the process. Earlier this week, “Gangnam Style” was knocked off its perch as the most viewed video on YouTube.
