Twenty-seven days ago, “Gangnam Style” took the title of the most-watched video ever on the website. Billboard reports that since then, it’s gotten somewhere in the neighborhood of 6.5 million views per day, or 76.4 views per second.

PSY is now so far ahead of the next most popular video, Justin Bieber’s “Baby,” that that clip probably won’t cross the billion mark until late in 2014, according to Billboard.
