2012 'Gangnam Style' song by PSY still has cultural impact in 2023

GANGNAM STYLE by PSY. It was the first single from PSY's 6th studio album (2012). He created a dance music video which rocked the world on YouTube. It became the first song to hit 1 Billion Views on that channel. PSY is a Korean singer who was totally surprised at how big his song had become.

That song created a huge dance craze around the world with "flash mobs" everywhere. It hit number #1 in 38 countries and only number #2 on the U.S. Billboard chart. But - it topped the number #1 spot on the U.S. Rap chart. It also sold more than $10 million records around the world. 

PSY and his great back-up dancers travelled the planet performing the song. The kids absolutely loved it.... No dance craze has been this big since Disco's, "The Hustle" (1970's). Or Chubby Checker's, "The Twist" (1960's). "Gangnam Style" is so much fun and the dance moves are easy to do.

First Video Below: PSY travelled to Australia to perform "Gangnam Style." Watch those kids get into that song.

Second Video Below: PSY travelled to Paris, France to sing the song there next to the Eiffel Tower. Again, watch those kids have fun.!!
