From viral video novelty to bonafide music chart-topper, South Korean K-Pop rapper Psy is winning over the world with his infectious hit song Gangnam Style.
The record-setting track — an over-the-top satirical tune mocking Seoul's nouveau riche Gangnam neighbourhood — has blazed an impressive trail since its debut, setting a new record for most "likes" on YouTube and surpassing 345 million views on the video-sharing site.
