Psy's Gangnam Style is no longer the most-watched video on YouTube. 

 

韩国歌手“鸟叔”（Psy）的《江南Style》不再是YouTube上播放量最多的视频了。

 

The South Korean megahit had been the site's most-played clip for the last five years.

 

But the song has now been overtaken by another music video - Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth's See You Again. 

 

The heart-wrenching ballad¹ has now been streamed 2,895,373,709 times; beating Psy's current count of 2,894,426,475 views.

 

Adding it up, that means See You Again has been streamed for a total of 21,759 years. If one person was to listen to each of those streams consecutively², they'd have to have started during the glacial peak of the last Ice Age.

 

The song was written for the action movie Furious 7, playing over the closing credits in tribute to the actor Paul Walker, who died in a car accident before the film was completed. 

 

With its unabashedly sentimental³ lyrics⁴ ("it's been a long day without you my friend/ And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again"), See You Again has become one of the most frequently requested pop songs at funerals in the UK. 

 

It was the best-selling song worldwide in 2015, and received best song nominations⁵ at both the Grammys and the Oscars.
