Psy's Korean electronica dance hit "Gangnam Style" just reached 1 billion views. on YouTube, becoming the first video on the seven-year-old platform to hit the milestone.

This countdown from the folks at Viral Seeding, which had been tracking each page view to 1 billion, now is counting down to 2 billion.

The countdown predicts "Gangnam Style" will reach 2 billion on Feb. 15.

"Psy's success is a great testament to the universal appeal of catchy music -- and er, great equine dance moves," Kevin Allocca, YouTube trends manager, said in a blog post. "In the past, music distribution was mostly regional. It was more difficult to learn about great artists from around the world. But with a global platform at their fingertips, people are now discovering and sharing amazing music from all over the planet."
