Not many expected the 'Psy phenomenon' when the singer released his "Gangnam Style" MV two years ago on July 15, 2012. But its catchy horse dance and addictive beat helped it to become the first ever video on YouTube to reach 1 billion views, and now 2 billion views!
To celebrate the feat, YouTube even included two dancing Psy icons next to the view count to signify 2 billion, and also tweeted out to the public:

The timing also couldn't have been any better as reports and rumors are already hinting on Psy's upcoming comeback possibly set for this summer. [Update - YG Entertainment has confirmed that the MV for a new song called 'Hangover' will be unveiled on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' on June 8th before its release on the 9th!]
Congrats to Psy and all the 'sexy ladies' (and men) who watched this video to make it happen!
