"Gangnam Style" Breaks YouTube To Become The Most Viewed Music Video Of All Times


Psy's "Gangnam Style" is a South Korean pop song which took the world by storm in 2012 and the music video has now been viewed so many times with more than 2billion views - a number the site did not program for.

See what YouTube had to say on the issue;
"We never thought a video would be watched in numbers greater than a 32-bit integer (=2,147, 483, 647, views), but that was before we met Psy.

 YouTube was forced to upgrade their system and can now theoretically support videos up to a 9 quintillion views. That means, the next video to break YouTube will have to be viewed up to (9, 223, 372, 036, 854, 775, 808) times.
