It's official - K-pop sensation Psy is the viral King of YouTube! His horse-riding summer dance hit "Gangnam Style" has finally beat out Justin Bieber's mega-hit "Baby" to claim the title for the most-viewed music video on YouTube. Psy personally announced the victory on Twitter on Saturday (Nov. 24) - as of this writing, "Gangnam Style" has accrued over a whopping 826 million views, approximately 20 million more than the Biebs' popular 2010 tune!

Psy's "Gangnam Style" video (which was just posted in July 2012) received the distinction for most "liked" YouTube video ever back in September (over five million "thumbs up" and counting). When Psy posted the "most viewed" news over the weekend, "Gangnam Style" had about 806 million views (compared to Bieber's just over 805 million). Since the happy announcement, that number quickly jumped to 826 million! Check it out:

While teen heartthrob Bieber may have just been monstrously defeated by the popular South Korean entertainer, talks of a musical collaboration are still in the works (the two pop stars even share the same manager, Scooter Braun). Psy told Billboard back in September, "We just made a phone call and I talked to him and said 'Hey, so many people asked did you meet Justin Bieber?' What he told me was he is really good at the dancing, my one, the horse dance."

Just imagine how many YouTube hits and likes that duet would wrack up!
