Korean pop sensation Psy has stolen the crown for most popular YouTube video from Justin Bieber.
According to YouTube, Psy's viral music video "Gangnam Style" currently has 806,283,968 views on YouTube -- edging out Bieber's "Baby" which has 803,847,584 views.
The Korean pop star already won the Guinness World Record for the most "likes" on a YouTube video in September. (It currently has 5,373,234.)
"Gangnam Style" debuted on YouTube on July 15 and quickly went viral, spawning countless imitations and remakes. The catchy video caught the attention of everyone from talk show host Ellen DeGeneres to Google's executive chairman Eric Schmidt -- both have been spotted doing Psy's signature "horse dance."

To date, neither Psy nor Beiber have had any run-ins with the law, nor any other significant issues. They are entertainers. Perhaps they are not the best artists, but they do not deserve to be hated.
