Singer PSY has set yet another record.

Up until now, the only other Korean artist to chart on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart were the Wonder Girls, who ranked at #76 with their English version of “Nobody”. PSY has broken that record, charting at #64 with “Gangnam Style“!

Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart is based on the scores of the week’s radio broadcast ratings, the sales volumes of digital downloads and albums, along with the results of streaming services.

PSY’s fame is further building in the US after signing with Scooter Braun and appearing on famous radio and talk shows. On September 13th, PSY also seized #6 on the US iTunes’ Singles Chart. Furthermore, PSY’s “Gangnam Style” MV has recorded over 150 million views, and the singer will be returning to Korea on the 25th after attending the ‘iHeartRadio Music Festival‘ in Las Vegas taking place on the 21st & 22nd.

Congratulations to PSY!

"....the singer will be returning to Korea on the 25th after attending the ‘iHeartRadio Music Festival‘ in Las Vegas...."

Is it that allkpop's way of saying PSY's American Promotions end?
Tbh, I'm going to miss him :(

OMG he is at the I Heart Music Festival...that is HUGE!!!! that show has been sold out for months and includes two days worth of mainstream artists with some special stages.

Z100 Elvis Duran Morning Show (a nationally syndicated show but based in NYC) used Gangnam Style as his opener this morning.

side note: yipee for the Wonder Girls, may they be able to do it again.

I could have sworn Kim Bumsoo was the first artist to chart, but oh well. Congrats to Psy!.

I don't get why people always overlook him, is it because it was a long time ago? He charted the highest too. idgi

Yea I don't really know. Maybe that is the reason. (I never hear of him before I read this comment) But maybe it's because of the k-pop boom, like before thr popularity of Kpop outside of South Korea

It's probably because it happened at a time when the Internet was at its toddler years and a few online sources cited the news.

That, or they are too lazy to research.

Aww I'm so happy for PSY. I'm just happy that he's been so well received, and I hope America does push him in everyone's face so much that that they'll be sick of him before he even gets to showcase what else he can do.
