Psy becomes first Korean artist to seize #1 position on US iTunes MV Chart

20120821_psy_1-600x329

Psy has officially made history, as he is now the first Korean artist to rank at the #1 spot on the US iTunes‘ MV Chart!

On August 21st, Psy’s “Gangnam Style” MV ranked at the prestigious #1 position on the MV Chart of US iTunes, just three days after seizing the #2 spot on August 18th. What was more noteworthy was that Psy had even triumphed international pop star Justin Bieber, along with Katy Perry, Maroon 5, Nicki Minaj, and more.

The “Gangnam Style” fever seems to still be burning strong across the globe, and this was particularly evident at a recent Dodgers game where Psy was present.

Congratulations to Psy!

Well, since the "trying to fit in" method doesn't seem to work, might as well be as outrageous and quirky as it it can be :P
Work it, Psy ^^

Also Gangnam Style (just the song) is currently #75 on general itunes chart: http://www.apple.com/itunes/charts/songs/ and it's #32 on US itunes pop chart and #95 on US itunes general single chart. If he keeps on rising and starts getting some airplay in US radio I think we'll be able to see him on Billboard hot 100 in few weeks.

the mv is hilarious...

i think this just shows that the american versus korean music value system is different. the typical american is looking for different qualities in their artists than the typical korean listener.

the other groups weren't making it in american because their company's business mindset was still korean and they dont' understand the american audience. i bet in the korean corporate boardrooms they dont' understand why psy is selling.

Well, to be fair I don't think Psy understands the US market any better. Gangnam Style is just "gives no fucks" all over and I think that attitude translates well for Americans even if the lyrics don't.
