Gangnam Style (강남스타일) broke YouTube’s video counter

December 8, 2014

IT’S been a while since K-Pop sensation PSY took over the world with Gangnam Style, but the song has continued to rake in Youtube views over the last two years.

The cheesy floor-filler was crowned most-watched video on Youtube ever, before passing one billion views.

Despite being more than two years old, the views kept on coming until the counter reached 2,147,483,647 views and STALLED.

In geek terms, 2,147,483,647 is the maximum number that can be held with a 32-bit integer slot – which is why it’s the highest score possible in video games, or the most money you can collect.
