South Korean rapper's Gangnam Style follow-up, Gentleman, is viewed more than 38 million times on YouTube in one day.

The music video was published on 13 April and has since broken the record for first day song views.

It broke its second record on 14 April, when it received 38 million views in one day.

The South Korean's follow-up track had around 20 million hits in the first 24 hours.

The previous record for first day views of eight million was set by Justin Bieber's Beauty and a Beat, which was viewed 10.6 million times in 24 hours.

The YouTube blog says: "For some added perspective, Gentleman, was seen 100 million times in less than four days in regions all over the world, a milestone that it took Gangnam Style nearly two months to achieve."

The video features Psy wearing his signature glasses and playing practical jokes on women such as pulling their chairs away as they are about to sit down and increasing the speed on a treadmill while it's being used.

It also shows a new hip swivelling dance move. His previous horse riding move was copied by people all over the world including The Wanted, Britney Spears and US president Barack Obama.
