PSY's "Gangnam Style" Video Breaks YouTube Coding

We all knew how popular PSY’s “Gangnam Style” was when the tune could be heard blaring out of television, smartphone screen, taxi radio and karaoke machine the world over, a phenomenon that was affirmed when it became the first YouTube video to ever garner one billion views. The song’s music video recently reached another absurd milestone, surpassing YouTube’s highest possible view count of 2,147,483,647 views as it is currently capable of storing on its 32-bit integer code. As a result, YouTube has had to upgrade to a 64-bit integer, which can accommodate up to nine quintillion views. For old time’s sake and to help the music video reach its new goal, watch it over here. Make sure to also hover your cursor over the view counter for some animated math.
