Ep 11. What made Psy (Gangnam Style) so successful
Listen now
Description
One Way's Peter and Sky talk about how Psy became such an iconic figure. He became something unique. He got famous from his energy on stage; he's a great performer and sells out his live shows. Before singing, he was a producer; he knows what people want. He was successful because he didn't try to look 'cool,' he didn't try to be super stylish.

He just showed the world who he was and became the first video on YouTube to hit 1 billion views. Are you excited for his comeback?
