Psy's viral hit 'Gangnam Style' has now gained so many views, that Youtube is unable to count them and has to upgrade its software.

Since being uploaded back in July (we know, it's sad that we're still talking about him) people have flocked in their millions to watch the irritating earworm's clip, complete with imbecile dance craze.

So much so, that it's now clocked up more hits than Youtube thought possible. 

"We never thought a video would be watched in numbers greater than a 32-bit integer (=2,147,483,647 views), but that was before we met PSY," they wrote on Google+. "'Gangnam Style' has been viewed so many times we have to upgrade! Hover over the counter in PSY's video to see a little math magic and stay tuned for bigger and bigger numbers on YouTube."

Fortunately, 'Gangnam Style' was a one-hit wonder, as follow-up single 'Gentleman' proved just as annoying but only reaching No.26 in the Billboard charts.
