"Gangnam Style" may not be the most viewed video to hit YouTube, but it is the most liked. According to the Guinness World Records, Korean pop star PSY's music video has seen more than 2.2 million likes on YouTube, putting it well ahead of its closest competitor — previous record holder LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" currently sits at just over 1.5 million likes.

"Gangnam Style," meanwhile, has been viewed more than 232 million times to date — quite a ways off from the likes of Justin Bieber's "Baby," which has more than 780 million views, but impressive nonetheless. It just goes to show the power of the viral video, though of course, even with incredibly popular videos some of us may need help learning to appreciate them. If you've yet to learn the joys of "Gangnam Style," you can check out the video below.

Psy 'Gangnam Style' Broke 1 Billion Views on YouTube

Five months ago, Psy's "Gangnam Style" premiered on YouTube. One month ago, it became the most-viewed clip in the site's history. And on Friday (December 21), it officially crossed the one-billion mark in total views — the first video to break that barrier — capping a whirlwind ride unlike any in recent memory.

So it's sort of understandable that, when MTV News spoke to Psy about reaching 1 billion views, well, he was having a difficult time coming up with the appropriate adjectives to describe the accomplishment. Because, like we said, no one's done this before.

"I can't compare it to anything else!" he laughed. "In 2012, I experienced so many things; it's been a tremendous year, but to accomplish this, it's really something that stands out. Because it all began with YouTube, and to have [the video] reach 1 billion views ... I don't think even I can break that record!"
