" Psy has passed the 3 billion views mark on YouTube. The South Korean&amp;#039;s popular hits &amp;#039;Gangnam Style&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Gentleman&amp;#039; have helped him pass the impressive milestone, making him the third music artist in history to do so.      Psy follows in the footsteps of Rihanna and Justin Bieber, who have both previously passed the 3 billion views mark on YouTube. However, Rihanna and Bieber have considerably more music videos to stream on the site, while Psy&amp;#039;s achievement largely comes off the back of two global hits. Psy&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Gangnam Style&amp;#039; was a phenomenon back in 2012 and saw him become the first person ever to accumulate a billion views with a single video back on December 21, 2012. Its follow-up &amp;#039;Gentleman&amp;#039; became the most viewed video online in 24 hours when it clocked up 38.4 million views in just one day on April 14, 2013. &amp;#039;Gangnam Style&amp;#039; currently stands at 1.73 billion views to date, while &amp;#039;Gentleman&amp;#039; is at 473 million.
