Psy-Phenom: “Gentleman” Video Will Reach Milestone 200 Million Views Today

Share

What can anyone say? Korean pop sensation Psy has the #1 video on YouTube. “Gentleman”  is over 191 million views now and should reach 200 million today or tomorrow. Why? Beats me. The sound of makes me want to swat it like a fly buzzing in the ear. But Psy has psy-ched out the worldwide audience. Imagine if Plastic Bertrand had started on You Tube. Such would have been the case for “Ca Plane Pour Moi” some 40 years ago. Plastic Bertrand, it’s time for your comeback! (I’ve moved the Gentleman video to our player at the bottom of the home page.) “Gentleman” has a long way to go.  Psy’s earlier hit, the ubiqutious “Gangnam Style,” has 1.5 BILLION views.
