Korea has officially taken over the world.
Alright, not really. But one Korean pop star has completely dominated the worldwide web in just four months.
Have you seen Psy's "Gangnam Style" yet?" Chances are you've watched it at least a hundred times. Because it just took the top spot as the most viewed YouTube video in the history of ever.
Most of us can't understand a word of the damn thing, nor does anyone seem to care. It's all about that stupid dance, bro. It rules.
But what sort of competition does "Gangnam Style" have anyway? What the hell were you all frantically re-watching before "dress classy, dance cheesy" became this week's YOLO?
Check it out, these are the top ten YouTube music videos of all time.

10. Eminem's "Not Afraid"
This introspective gem isn't exactly what we'd call Eminem's best song. But apparently, y'all can't get enough of it. Uploaded on June 4, 2010, the video has racked up 375,870,387 views in the last few years. We imagine it must be because of the exquisite lyrical content than for the imagery, because it's basically just Em walking around Detroit and rapping to himself in a dingy basement. There is a cool, trippy mirror scene, though. This video also doubles as a Beats by Dre advertisement.
9. Don Omar's "Danza Kuduro" Featuring Lucenzo
The acting in this catchy video's intro is so bad we are totally in love with it. Much like how everyone can't get enough of this infectious tropical beat. The clip has gotten a lot of love -- 406,696,891 views since it was uploaded on August 11, 2010. Besides being a total humdinger, this video features a lot of scantily clad models dancing around some of the most beautiful beach locations on Planet Earth. Plus, fancy yachts.
8. Michel Telo's "Ai Se Eu Te Pego"
Obviously, bitches love this Michel Telo guy. This video of the man performing his megahit "Ai Se Eu Te Pego" makes it look like nothing but sexy women come to his shows. And apparently, they go home and watch the music video over and over again. Like, something to the tune of 461,775,028 times since July 25, 2011. Girls need to get their hands out of their pants and back to work already.
7. Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance"
Of all the Lady Gaga songs in existence, this is your favorite. Honestly, we're not that surprised. We remember this song being completely inescapable. For once, the music video is more interesting than the music itself. Gaga is great at dramatic bizarreness. All this great imagery and next-level costume design has won Gaga 497,623,609 clicks since Nov. 23, 2009. This video is also an advertisement for Beats by Dre. Bro gets around.
6. Shakira's "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" (The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup ™ Song)
This ridiculous song takes the prize for worst hit on the list. We don't really know what the fuck is going on with this track. But people around the world definitely have a hard-on for soccer. And Shakira. So we get it. Thus far, 501,077,033 people have sat through this annoying song since June 4, 2010. We guess it grows on you.
5. LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem"
Yeah, yeah, hustlin' erryday. We remember this one. In fact, we're still trying to run away from it. But apparently, you aren't. You can't get enough of it. That's why you've shuffled to the beat non-stop since it dropped on March 8, 2011. Well, maybe not nonstop. But definitely at least 503,416,006 times. LMFAO have since gone on hiatus, but you don't have to wait for a reunion to break out your party pants.
4. Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie" Featuring Rihanna
We don't know why you people love the cheesiest Eminem songs the most. We think the best Eminem songs are the ones where he's all agro and stuff. But y'all love him being a little whiny baby. He takes two spots on the list, this one stomping his first entry with a total of 517,602,764 views since August 5, 2010. This clip is superemotional. It also features Rihanna, but we don't get any sort of look at her titties. Boo.
3. Jennifer Lopez's "On The Floor" Featuring Pitbull
The third most-watched music video is a BMW commercial. Nah, just kidding. It's actually J.Lo. And she's got some awesome costumes. Plus, Pitbull is all up in it, representing for the 305 and players worldwide. It sounds like this is a brand-new "J.Lo-ration," because this hit has been jammed 624,979,149 times since March 3, 2011.
2. Justin Bieber's "Baby" Featuring Ludacris
The Biebz's breakout hit has always been his biggest. And until that damn Korean upstart hit the scene, his boyish gangster lean reigned supreme. This video has earned a whopping 805,378,958 views since being released February 19, 2010. It has a star-studded cast, featuring appearances from fellow Canadian Drake, A-town hero Ludacris and of course, a very tiny, shorter-than-his-female-costar Justin Bieber.
1. Psy's "Gangnam Style"
Motherfucking oppa oppa, you guys. It's "Gangnam Style." You probably dressed up as Psy for Halloween, but you didn't do it better than this guy. The K-popper out LMFAO-ed LMFAO, out beliebered Bieber, and totally shat on everything that's come before him. All in four months flat! He's got 826,061,391 views so far. And he'll probably have twice as many in four more months. Because you people are ridiculous. We'll just have to wait and see if Psy can do it again.
