Gangnam Style breaks YouTube record

Psy's song poking fun at South Korea's bourgeouisie leapfrogs Justin Bieber's Baby to become most-watched video ever

The camp video, which has spawned a growing number of spoof and tribute clips, wrested the title from Canadian singer Justin Bieber's Baby, which has more than 803m views.

Psy, whose real name is Park Jae-sang, has become an international star since Gangnam Style's release in July.

Psy's song, which pokes fun at the fashion-conscious residents of an upmarket neighbourhood in Seoul, has topped charts around the world, selling more than 4m copies worldwide.
