South Korean rapper makes chart history

Rapper Psy became the first South Korean musician to make it to number one in the UK with his single Gangnam Style.

The pop track broke into the top 40 two weeks ago at number 37, four weeks after its release, and has been climbing steadily since ending up at number three in last week’s chart.

The video that accompanies the single has amassed more than 253 million views in just two months and became the most “liked” video of all time on YouTube.

The track knocks last week’s number one, Irish band The Script off the top spot to number two with their single Hall of Fame.

There were no newly-released songs in the Official UK Charts Company top 10 singles, with
the highest-reaching new entry being DJ Fresh’s The Feel at number 13.
