PSY Breaks US iTunes Chart’s Top 20



PSY‘s popularity seems to know no bounds overseas as he adds another achievement to the already impressive list. He ranked on ”US iTunes’ Top 20″ with the infectious number “Gangnam Style.”

The song placed #18 on iTunes, making PSY the first Korean artist to chart on iTunes’ Top 20. He also managed to rank first on US iTunes’ MV Chart with “Gangnam Style” earlier during his promotional activities, proving once again his popularity.

The “Gangnam Syndrome” is still hot and spreading as the views of the music video continue to soar with no less than 130 million views recorded. PSY has been invited to the MTV VMAs in Los Angeles on September 6 and performed his popular horse dance with the ceremony’s host Kevin Hart. He also expressed after being introduced by Kevin Hart, “I’ve been wanting to stand on this stage and speak in Korean just once. It’s awesome right?”

Meanwhile, PSY signed an exclusive contract with Island Records, a record label of Universal Music.

PSY Featured on People Magazine, Rolling Stone and Mashable

Your favorite chic oppa PSY was featured on People Magazine‘s website. People Magazine published an article titled, “Five things you should know about PSY,” covering his real name and his prestigious education in the US, to dubbing him the next pop sensation in America.

The article also sums up PSY’s recent achievements, from his topping of YouTube’s MV chart, to the contract he signed with Scooter Braun‘s agency. Check out the link below to test your knowledge on PSY.

Mashable published an infographic report on PSY’s rising popularity, “Gangnam Style! The Anatomy of a Viral Sensation.”

It says, “But while “Gangnam Style” does possess an undeniable odd appeal, most people probably aren’t familiar with the video beyond its visceral assault on the ears and eyes. This infographic is here to help. Put together by the British design firm Neo Mammalian Studios, it breaks down the ‘Gangnam Style’ phenomenon and the video’s social reach.”

Music magazine Rolling Stone made PSY “The Winner of the Week” on their “On The Charts” section. With a few inadequacies here and there, Rolling Stone also goes on to compare “Gangnam Style”‘s virality to Rebecca Black‘s “Friday,” with a deeper meaning of “a satire of wealthy Seoul culture.”

Check out the article and let us know what you think of it!

I've read YG is keeping all the money, which is weird because last I checked all the writing credits were PSYs.

Good for him, more fandom rage lol.

Not entirely, the previous article is just an estimation of what ideally the brand & song "Gangnam Style" would earn (includes his endorsements too). And people took it as what PSY would actually get (when its not, considering distributors get their parts too).

So when PSY said he hasn't gotten anything people were up and arms saying YG took all the money.

It was number 9 on the nightly top 9 at 9 countdown for NY Z100. I was floored, I thought it was time for people to be done with Gangnam Style, but apparently it's still on the upswing.

IMO if PSY wants to play his cards right he should come up with another similarish song to see the summer out. By PSY that Oppa Just My Style crap doesn't count.

I was driving home when I heard it on Z100....totally. It expecting the full song to play. Earlier that morning Elvis did list it as his pick of the week and they played a snippet on the morning show.

I saw him on CNN.

There are people over at AKP downplaying this, attributing him to hype akin to Rebecca Black's rather than true success. Which is true to an extent but this is father than where most Kpop artists have gone so I'd say its a triumph nonetheless. Besides, most of the news are from American sources so I'm ruling out the cancer that is Korean sensationalism.

Pressed stans. No matter what he's got more exposure than all the other ones trying to make in the US put together. As if their favs would have long term success.

Went to the gay bar the other night, and I heard it outside, being played by someone (unfortunately it was the terrible hyunah version) and then they played it inside the bar too for everyone to dance to. Needless to say, I jammed out so hard. 8D SO HAPPY FOR PSY OPPAR!

According to previous comments, that's because YG deleted the track off Psy's Korean album on iTunes, then added it again under Universal Republic Records. The numbers will re-rise eventually.
