Psy’s mega-hit “Gangnam Style” has now sold over a million copies in the United Kingdom.

According to Official Charts Company sales data, “Gangnam Style” has broken through the million copies sales barrier to become the UK’s 129th million selling single, and first million seller by an Asian music star.

Martin Talbot, the managing director of the Official Charts Company commented, “This is an amazing achievement by Psy. It is further confirmation of Gangnam Style as a true phenomenon – it is the first UK million-seller by an Asian music star, and a sign that K-Pop has truly arrived in the UK!”

While “Gangnam Style” only remained at Number 1 for a week, it spent a further 17 weeks in the Top 10 and was the UK’s sixth biggest selling single of 2012. To date, “Gangnam Style” has spent 21 weeks on the Official Singles Chart Top 40.
