Gangnam Style!



“Eh- Sexy Lady oh oh oh oh!”  Do you find that line familiar?? More than likely you have heard the song that has taken the world by storm, Gangnam Style!






As of November 24th, 2012, the YouTube video of Gangnam Style has become the most popular video with over 804 million hits (It has surpassed the previous leading video, Baby, by Justin Bieber) It is now the most popular video on YouTube EVER! Statistics predict that by December 16th of this year the video will reach the BILLION views mark. I imagine the creators of YouTube never imagined their site would attract that many views for only ONE video!

YouTube has continued to increase viewers of their site and generates so many videos everyday. With how effective YouTube is at gaining a large audience, do you think businesses would try to maximize this source of social media to bring recognition to their organization?

  2. This song are really don't make sense for me but if you ask your friend about this song, most of them would know that song , it could be by their friend or just heard it at somewhere. And I don't like it at all. Have you heard this song, what you think? You think it is fun or stupid.

  3. I think YouTube is already doing a great job of having advertising as a preview to many popular videos. There are many insurance and car commercials that play for 15 seconds before you can start your video.
