'Gangnam Style' Sets a Guinness World Record

South Korean rapper Psy has a new reason to boast: He just broke a Guinness World Record.

The records-keeping authority announced Friday morning that Psy's Gangnam Style broke the record for "Most Likes on YouTube" with 2,141,758. That breaks the previous record set by LMFAO’s Party Rock Anthem (1,574,963), Justin’s Bieber’s Baby (1,327,147) and Adele’s Rolling in the deep (1,245,641). (It should also be noted that Psy's hit is edging close to 100,000 dislikes as well.) Gangnam also has racked up 227 million views, which puts it just outside of YouTube's list of the 30 most-viewed videos ever.
