Psy has managed to hit the 100 million view mark on YouTube again -- his fourth time achieving this feat.

In a tweet posted Tuesday, Psy celebrated hitting the 100 million mark on "Daddy", one of his latest singles that was just released on Nov. 30, 2015.

Impressive as 100 million is, Psy has found it hard to top his previous explosive success with "Gentleman", released in 2013, which holds the record for the fastest music video to hit the mark globally.

Released as a follow up to Psy's breakout hit "Gangnam Style", "Gentleman" hit the magic 100 million mark in just three days, when Psy was riding the success of "Gangnam Style".

In comparison, "Gangnam Style" (released in 2012) hit its first 100 million in 44 days, skyrocketing Psy from a veritable nobody to an international hit. At time of writing, it's racked up nearly 2.5 billion views on YouTube.

Psy's third video to reach 100 million, titled "Hangover" (2014), featured Snoop Dogg and reached the mark within about a month and a half as well.

Whether you're Psy or not, it's going to be hard to top "Gentleman". The second fastest video ever to reach 100 million was Adele's "Hello", and she achieved it in five days.
