As predicted, Psy's addictive "Gangnam Style" trotted past the one billion mark before noon today on YouTube.
The achievement makes it the first on the video-streaming site to hit that historic landmark.
To commemorate the achievement YouTube has placed a dancing caricature of the singer next to his current number of views.
YouTube analytics site ChannelMeter gathered together a few facts on Psy's road to one billion views.
- The video had its most views ever October 27 gaining 34.5 million views.
- OfficialPSY, the Korean pop singer's YouTube channel, went from being ranked 12,907 at the debut of his "Gangnam Style" video to 28th.
