Well, Psy, you had a good run, but your name has now been expunged from the history books, or at least the Guinness Book of World Records, because Adele just snatched your record right from under you.
The Brit singer's "Hello" said farewell to Psy's "Gangnam Style" after reaching one billion views faster than any other music video on YouTube. It took Psy 159 days to accomplish that feat. Adele did it in 88.
