SEOUL: "Gangnam Style" star Psy's new
music video had received more than 44 million views on YouTube by
Monday, re-writing the video-sharing site's records for single-day hits.
The dance video to "Gentleman", the
South Korean singer's long-awaited follow up to "Gangnam Style, was only
posted on YouTube at 9:00pm (1200 GMT) on Saturday.
In the first 24 hours, it racked up
around 20 million hits, destroying the previous record for single-day
views of 8.0 million, set by Canadian heartthrob Justin Bieber's
"Boyfriend" video in May 2012.
Now that record looks set to be stretched again, with the view count 36 hours after release standing at 44.5 million.
The video shows Psy, wearing his
signature sunglasses, dancing at various locations in and around Seoul
including a high-end clothing store, restaurant, swimming pool and a
library.
