PSY's recording breaking continues as he tops the US iTunes Singles Chart, becoming the first Korean act to top the chart.

In addition to "Gangnam Style" topping the US iTunes charts, the song has also topped the iTunes charts in Canada and various countries in Europe.

    it's good but when it started playing I thought it sounded just like 2NE1's song "I Am The Best"

    I just think it's weird that people I know who've never even knew Kpop existed knows about this song and like it. I'm glad that Kpop is actually being looked at! :D

    well, it's nothing wrong about the song, I like it actually :D But maybe people think that all kpop songs are like gangnam style now and gets the wrong picture of kpop...

    Eh, I mean, good for PSY that he's getting credit for a really catchy song. But now a bunch of ignorant people are going to get into K-POP and have these wacko fanbases like other mainstream bands... let's just hope this DOESN'T happen, though. ;)

    Why not? They are mainstream bands, so what's wrong that after Gangnam Style k-pop will gain more fans? I don't like it that there's always a "elite" group of people telling "I'm better than you, because I knew it earlier". About annoying k-pop fanatics- they already exist anyway ^ ^"

    I bet a lot of us think, "I was into K-POP before it became a fad."

    He made kpop kind of "mainstream" in my area. Everyone who knows his songs thinks they know kpop too, now. T_T

    I'm really glad this is finally happening, and I'm even happier that PSY gets to have his dream come true :3

    He deserves the number 1 spot... I mean, when my US History teacher breaks out in this dance during a lecture, he has definitely done well at reaching all types of audiences.

    I think that he's ging to become one of many, but I'm a K-pop fan already and my opinion is biased. :)
