Many predicted that K-Pop star Psy would be a one hit wonder, and it seems they've been proved right with his second single plummeting in the US charts.

'Gentleman' debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No.12 two weeks ago, powered by an initial online buzz. But this week it feel from 5 to 26 on the Hot 100, and slips from No. 1 to 6 on the Streaming Songs chart.

It's now below Psy's original hit 'Gangnam Style' on the Streaming Songs chart, which stays at No. 3.

The sales of the Korean's second single have also fallen substantially, decreasing by 50%.

The track's 1.2 million radio audience is not a significant factor in its chart rankings yet, accounting for just 1% of its Hot 100 chart points.

'Gangnam Style' was a viral sensation last year, becoming the most watched video on YouTube ever and inspiring countless parody videos from around the world.
