PSY was the highest-ranked Asian star.
"It's hard to believe that it's been over half a decade since the satirical dance track 'Gangnam Style' took the world by storm to become the first-ever video to be viewed over 1 billion times", Billboard wrote.
"PSY's video became a surprise global sensation that turned all eyes to [Korea's] music industry. Though it's no longer the world's most-viewed video, the legacy of 'Gangnam Style' remains".
In 2012, "Gangnam Style" held second place on the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks, a milestone in the history of K-pop. The video has reached 3.1 billion views.
PSY is now on a nationwide tour.
