There's clearly no stopping PSY!

The South Korean rapper, whose "Gangnam Style" video became the most-watched YouTube video of all time last month, can now brag that it has been viewed more than 1 billion (yes, billion!) times. What's more, it is also the first time a video has reached that milestone.

So, how did it accomplish such a feat?

Well, according to Google, which owns YouTube, the video is watched seven million to 10 million times a day on average, the BBC reports.

In November, the video, which was posted to the site in July, surpassed Justin Bieber's "Baby" after logging just over 800 million views.

PSY is no doubt doing a little celebratory dance right about now. In his own special way, of course.
