South Korean singer Psy's 'Gangnam' Style Video Broken All Records
South Korean singer Psy's "Gangnam Style" song video has broken all records of popularity and forced Google's management to stretch You Tube's view limit. In the two years since the last time 'Gangnam Style' on You Tube, people still tune into Psy's You Tube channel to get some more. The video crossed two billion video views limit mark this year, and it passed 2,147,483,847 views this week. You Tube's view counter is programmed with a 32-bit integer where 2,147,483,847 is the limit. "We never thought a video would be watched in numbers greater than 32-bit integer, but that was before we met Psy" said Google in a blog post. "the video has been watched so many times that we had to upgrade to 64-bit integer. the limit there? 9,223,372,038,854,775,808," it added.
