Gangnam Crazy

Gangnam Style is getting into the charts all over the world, even in the UK. This could be the first K-Pop (Korean Pop) to hit number one in the UK chart.

Since its release it has been clicked on more than 220 million times, and every day it has racked up more than 10 million views each day. This comical, colourful and over-the-top video is a must see! Psy debuts his now internationally famous, “horse riding dance”, and everyone has started to use this awesome, comical dance move.

Back at home in Korea, 34-year old Psy, is already a well-known artist with 6 albums to his name. Whilst no-one in the world (except for Korea) knew him before he was already singing for 12 years. This song is supposed to poke fun at a fashionable district in Seoul – Gangnam. When it was released, it topped the Korean charts almost instantly. It then topped the charts in Finland, Latvia and Malaysia. His sights are now firmly set on number 1 in America and the UK. Hopefully this song will top the chart here, so watch out!
