YG must be thanking his lucky stars that he hit gold in the most unlikely of his singers. Congrats Psy! This shows that Teddy and GD are not the only ones capable of producing hits

That's nice but those other videos have around 100 million+ views already

He's doing very well on kpop charts actually
I think he doesn't win award because he doesn't have the kind of fanbase that typical idol have

b/c in Korea, this is just Psy being Psy.

A lot of Gangnam Style's success can be attributed to "novelty" and to Koreans, the novelty's not a factor. It's still a good song but doesn't have that extra oomph to set it over the edge.

Yeah, it's a brilliant song, but it's not the kind of song that teenaged girls (who are the main focal driving (brute) force of the entire k-pop industry in Korea) would go nuts over.

Yep he's not the regular "oppaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Well, just because his MV is popular doesn't mean people will buy the song. And even if they do buy it, songs bought on itunes don't count towards any music show charts, iirc

Because charts are flawed wastes of time, he's been no 1 since release on most charts, still at the top of Instiz aswell.

Hey I was wondering how can I access those charts, like most popular for the month, most suscribed based on geographical position etc... My youtube homepage is a mess (and in Chinese), and I can't navigate basically.
