South Korean rapper Psy made social media history when his viral hit song, "Gangnam Style", became the first video on YouTube to reach one billion views.

The song, first posted on YouTube on July 15, clocked the billion milestone on Friday, and the video-sharing website marked the occasion with a dancing Psy doodle next to their logo.

Al Jazeera's Stefanie Dekker reports.
