PSY's "Gangnam Style" Wins Music Bank For 8th Week, 2nd Most Wins Of All Time

PSY's hugely successful hit song "Gangnam Style" has won "Music Bank" for its 8th week, becoming the 2nd most successful song on the program of all time.

The show's countdown chart, K-Chart, lists the top 50 songs in Korea based on digital music sales (65%), radio and TV play (20%), viewers' choice (10%) and album sales (5%). The song on top of the chart is declared the week's winner, receiving a prize.

Since adopting the K-chart in September of 2007, few artists have been able to stay on top of the K-Chart for more than 5 weeks. Girls' Generation's 2009 smash hit "Gee" holds the record for most weeks at #1 with 11 K-chart wins.

In addition to PSY's song having the 2nd most weeks at #1, the song also holds the record for having the highest score, receiving 30,454 points this past week. The song has steadily been scoring higher and higher since August.

    I didn't really like the song at first, and then it grew on me, and WHAT a shock it was when i heard it on the radio here in America like two weeks ago. AND what a shock it was again, when I heard my cousins in INDIA raving about its popularity...

    thats just because the song is so popular overseas i think... if it didnt have such an inpact on america he wouldnt be 1st for such a long time in korea... because its not rly korean ppls taste/style (but thats just what i think)

    I'm probably one of the few people here who actually doesn't really like the song, but congrats to PSY anyways.
    (It was totally shocking when I figured out even my brothers knew the song... and actually thought it was amazing...)

    That's so true, nothing can pass Gee... But in my opinion, more people definitely know Gangnam Style more than Gee since all those non kpoppers keep bragging about it -.-
