PSY’s ubiquitious Gangnam Style video just passed Justin Bieber’s Baby as the most viewed YouTube video ever. It has currently clocked 803,761,928 views. According to ChannelMeter, Gangnam Style had its best day ever on Oct. 28, when the video was viewed 24,563,506 times. Since it premiered 132 days ago, it has averaged 6.1 million daily views. ChannelMeter now predicts Gangam Style will be the first video in history to reach 1 billion views on Dec. 16, 2012.

Rebecca Black's "Friday," a music video we love to hate, tops that list despite temporarily disappearing from YouTube at one point. She's followed by a dog who can't stop thinking about food, a catchy tune by the boys of Lonely Island (with Michael Bolton), some babbling babies, and other gems.
