Gangnam Style loses crown as king of YouTube

NEW YORK - The quirky South Korean video that spawned a global dance craze and went so viral it nearly broke YouTube has finally been dethroned as the most watched video.

After four and a half years as YouTube's most seen video, Gangnam Style slipped to number two, replaced by See You Again by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth.

Gangnam Style, a satirical take on the nouveau riche residents of the Seoul district by the same name, surprised even its singer, Psy, with its sudden global ascent in 2012.
