‘Gangnam Style’ loses its spot as the most-watched video on YouTube

See who’s taken over

As of July 11, 2017, Wiz Khalifa's ‘See You Again' featuring Charlie Puth has hit more than 2 billion views on YouTube, beating Korean artist Psy's 'Gangnam Style' in the most-watched video category.

Released in 2015, ‘See You Again' by Wiz Khalifa ft. Charlie Puth was featured in the action movie Furious 7 and was created as a tribute to the late Paul Walker, whose untimely death was a shock to the industry and fans. He was killed in a car crash prior to the completion of the film and as a consequence, the ending of the film panned out differently than originally planned.

Psy's ‘Gangnam Style' maintained the record of the most viewed video for five years from 2012, prior to which it was Justin Bieber's ‘Baby' that held the spot.
