 SAN BRUNO, Calif. (AP) — Move over, "Gangnam Style." YouTube has a new top-viewed video of all time. 
 
 Wiz Khalifa's video for "See You Again" featuring Charlie Puth became the site's most-watched video Monday and has more than 2.896 billion views as of Tuesday. That's about 2 million more than the video for Korean rapper Psy's 2012 smash "Gangnam Style," which held the most-viewed title for five years, YouTube said. 
 
 Justin Bieber's "Sorry" sits in third place, more than 250 million views behind the leaders. 
 
 Puth reacted with surprise on Twitter , noting that he joined YouTube in 2007 hoping to make a video that would hit 10,000 views. Puth also earned a congratulatory message from YouTube star Tyler Oakley, who called the feat "legendary & epic." 
 
 Wiz Khalifa said in a statement that he's happy the song has been able to "inspire and impact so many lives." 
 
 "See You Again" was released in 2015 as a tribute to late "Fast and the Furious" star Paul Walker. ||||| It's official: Psy's "Gangnam Style" is the first video ever to hit a billion views on YouTube. 
 
 For most mortals on video sharing networks, hitting the 1 million views milestone is a feat. For Psy's dance hymn, which was uploaded to YouTube on July 15, millions of views are racking up every hour. It took approximately three hours for the video to go from 995 million to a billion. 
 
 An animated dancing Psy now appears next to the video's view counter: 
 
 "Psy's success is a great testament to the universal appeal of catchy music — and er, great equine dance moves," Kevin Allocca, YouTube trends manager, said in a blog post. "In the past, music distribution was mostly regional. It was more difficult to learn about great artists from around the world. But with a global platform at their fingertips, people are now discovering and sharing amazing music from all over the planet." 
 
 Some love the song, some hate it, and, by now, many are sick of it. But it captured the essence of pop in the YouTube era: It blended the perfect combination of weirdness, virality, dance moves and catchy melody, and that made it one of the most popular pieces of entertainment in recent times.

 Admit it: You saw it for the first time, laughed, then you watched it again. Then you heard it at a party, on the radio and then over the crummy sound system of a local grocery store. And then it was everywhere. 
 
 Now is the perfect time to spin it once again. Oppa Gangnam Style! 
 
 "Congratulations to PSY, the flash mobbers, K-Pop fans and people who love fun across the globe," Allocca said, adding these extra stats to highlight the popularity of "Gangnam Style." 
 
 Psy was already big in Korea, but in 2012, he became a global celeb as "Gangnam Style" quickly spread from Seoul and the pacific to North America, South America, and Europe. It's been seen at least 1 million times in close to 75 countries, making it one of the most global music sensations ever! 
 
 From a one-thousand person flash mob in Jakarta to cover videos from Ai Weiwei and Mitt Romney, hundreds of thousands of parodies have been uploaded to YouTube, some of which have tens of millions of views. In fact, fan tributes to "Gangnam Style" are now being viewed 20 million times every single day. 
 
 Psy's own remix with Hyuna has 200 million views alone. 
 
 "Gangnam Style" was YouTube's top rising search of 2012 and on October 6th, we saw more than five million searches for "gangnam style" in a single day. Check out this video demonstrating some of our most popular YouTube searches this year. 
 
 For those interested in the business side: a number of assessments and projections have been posted claiming "Gangnam Style" has generated over $8.1 million in advertising deals, hit more than 2.9 million in song downloads since July, and achieved other incredible feats!

 Psy's pre-taped performance for TNT's Christmas in Washington airs tonight at 8. Psy shook met and hands with Barack Obama at the pre-taped event at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C., amid recent uproar about Psy's controversial anti-American rap.

 With almost 45 million views on YouTube, "Gangnam Style" is the second most popular music video on YouTube's 100 chart this week (right behind Carly Rae Jepsen's video for "Call Me Maybe") and is also number one on Billboard's K-Pop Hot 100 chart. 
 
 The song has even reached baseball fans who started dancing to the track during an L.A. Dodgers versus the San Francisco Giants game in Los Angeles on Monday and were delighted to see Psy sitting in the stands and eventually performing his signature moves for the crowd. 
 
 Word has it that the 34-year-old Korean rapper is currently in Los Angeles for a meeting with Justin Bieber's manager Scooter Braun about the possibility of working together and given their almost simultaneous tweets, it's totally possible that they attended the baseball game together.

 Braun caught on early to the "Gangnam Style" madness in July and after seeing Psy's quirky video for his viral tune, he tweeted, "HOW DID I NOT SIGN THIS GUY!?!??! GANGNAM STYLE!!!! #THEGREATEST." 
 
 For those of us unfamiliar with the "Gangnam Style" vernacular, Billboard reports that "Gangnam is an affluent part of South Korea's capital, Seoul, likened to Manhattan or Beverly Hills." In addition, Psy's interpretation of the "style" of Gangnam "is a reference to fancy living and in the song is used to impress a love interest over a European influenced dance backing."
