Psy has already achieved quite a lot with his globally popular music video for “Gangnam style”, and now he can add a Guinness World Record to that list.
On September 20th, Guinness announced that “Gangnam Style” music video, which first hit YouTube on July 15, 2012, has been “liked” in excess of 2,141,758 times, enough to hold the Guiness World Record for most “Liked”video in YouTube history.
The closest competitors for most liked video on YouTube include LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem” (1,574,963 likes), Justin’s Bieber's “Baby” (1,327,147 likes) and Adele’s “Rolling in the Deep” (1,245,641 likes).
The Guinness World Records Community Manager, Dan Barrett, said, “Having been the ‘Have you seen this?!’ video of the last two months across the web, it’s great to be able to award a record for this tremendously popular video. In years past it was unthinkable that something would be viewed a hundred million times, and now ‘Gangnam Style’ has achieved more than twice this figure in just 3 months on YouTube.”
