Just a few days shy of five years since it was released, Psy‘s ‘Gangnam Style’ music video’s record as the most-watched on YouTube has now been overtaken.
The new king of YouTube views is Wiz Khalifa with help from Charlie Puth, as the two musician’s video for Furious 7 ballad, ‘See You Again’ has got more views.
‘Gangnam Style’ at the time of this report has 2,895,111,556 views, which is a couple of million views less than the 2,897,632,968 views for the two-year-old ‘See You Again’.
While Psy’s video has lost the crown, it will always be regarded as the first video to get a billion views.
Not a bad consolation for the Korean star.
Meanwhile, Puth tweeted his delight at the new record.
For the record, I joined @YouTube in 2007 hoping to make a video that would reach 10,000 views. Just heard about See You Again…wow.

Khalifa on his part has also acknowledged the new record without writing a word.
