Move over, Justin Beiber. There's a new king of YouTube. South Korea's PSY. It's official. After holding the top spot on YouTube as the most watched video of all time on the web site, Beiber's video for his song "Baby," was surpassed by PSY's outrageously over-the-top music video for his hit song, "Gangnam Style." How over the top? If...
South Korean rapper PSY, who sings the popular "Gangnam Style," performs during his concert in front of Seoul City Hall in Seoul, South Korea, in this, Oct. 4, 2012 file photo.

Move over, Justin Beiber.
There's a new king of YouTube. South Korea's PSY.
It's official. After holding the top spot on YouTube as the most watched video of all time on the web site, Beiber's video for his song "Baby," was surpassed by PSY's outrageously over-the-top music video for his hit song, "Gangnam Style."
How over the top? If you haven't seen PSY's video, let's just say that you've probably never seen someone in a blue or pink tuxedo pretending to ride a horse while galloping through an indoor tennis court or a parking garage, not the mention the back of a moving speed boat in South Korea.
At last count, more than 810 million people have watched the 4 minute long video for "Gangnam Style." In contrast, a mere 804 million people have watched the Canadian teenager's syrupy sweet video of his love song featuring Ludacris - the key word, by the way, that could be used frankly to describe both videos.
