The video to the global smash hit song Gangnam Style has become the most-watched clip in YouTube's history. It is now moving quickly towards one billion views.

The video had at one point 5,473,726 likes and 338,504 dislikes. Canadian teen idol Justin Bieber previously held the record for the most YouTube views with his 2010 blockbuster Baby.

Gangnam Style is by 34-year-old South Korean singer Psy. His iconic dance and catchy tune have captured the imagination of millions of people worldwide.
