PSY's 'GANGAM STYLE YAFIKISHA WATEMBELEAJI BILIONI 1 YOUTUBE

PSYs "Gangnam Style" has just become the first video in the history of the Internet to surpass one billion views.

At some point in the 10 o'clock hour ET on Friday (Dec. 21), PSY's mega-hit reached this unprecedented milestone just 27 days after surpassing Justin Bieber's "Baby" as the most watched video on YouTube. The video's YouTube page updated with 1,000,382,639 at 10:50 a.m. A precise time has not been announced.

In the days after breaking the 803 million YouTube view record, "Gangnam Style" has sustained over 6.5 million views per day - that's 76.4 view per second.
To compare to the second most popular video on the Internet, "Baby" likely won't cross the 1 billion view mark until late 2014, according to projections provided by Next Big Sound. Its decelerating view count currently hovers just above 300,000 per day, or only 3 views per second - a rate that is likely to continue to shrink.
