What a very good record breaking. Gangnam Style hit music video by South Korean
singer, PSY, has exceeded YouTube's view limit, prompting YouTube to upgrade
its counter.
The video which was released in 2012, was announced to be its most watched ever
and has been viewed more than 2,147,483,647 times. YouTube has now changed the
maximum view limit to 9,223,372,036,854,775,808, or more than nine quintillion.
On December 1, YouTube posted a statement saying: "We never thought a
video would be watched in numbers greater than a 32-bit integer... but that was
before we met Psy."
Meanwhile, how do you say 9,223,372,036,854,775,808? That's over a quadrillion,
over a trillion, and over a billion.
