Psy has made a giant leap to No. 2 from No. 11 on Billboard main chart, the highest record for a Korean singer on Billboard to date.
The singer’s smash-hit “Gangnam Style”, who has been sweeping countless international music charts, is writing a new record by sitting at No. 2 on Billboard Hot 100 just behind Maroon 5’s “One More Night” which remained at the top spot for another week.
The song surges in all fields that contribute to the Hot 100’s data pool: it climbs 4-1 on Digital Songs (301,000, up 60%), 43-9 on On-Demand Songs (616,000, up 105%) and 68-34 on Radio Songs (34 million, up 79%). The song is likewise the top-gaining track on the mainstream top 40-driven Pop Songs radio airplay chart (28-19, up 95% in plays).
Meanwhile, Psy is just one spot away before fans could see the “half-naked” horse-riding dance. On his recent press conference, he vowed to dance half-naked if “Gangnam Style” tops Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
Can he reach the top spot next week?
