The K-Pop phenomenon by PSY has been the unlikeliest hit of 2012, and has already broken several records.
In October, Gangnam Style became the first South Korean track to top the Official UK Singles Chart, and within six months of its July release, the track has hit No 1 in over 34 countries.
Back in November, the video overtook Justin Bieber's Baby to become the most-viewed clip in YouTube history, and following an online campaign to push that number into ten figures, the pop track surpassed one billion views earlier today.MTV
The success of the now infamous Gangnam Style dance has seen the likes of The Hoff, Heidi Klum and even Madonna joining in.
PSY is estimated to have made £5 million from sales and downloads of the single, as well as live gigs, and, according to The Sun, the Korean rapper is estimated to have made more than £150,000 from the YouTube views alone.
