Psy has once again managed to penetrate the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, with his new single “Gentleman” making its debut at No. 12. Last year, the rapper’s claim-to-fame track “Gangman Style” entered the charts at No. 64 before eventually rocketing its way to No. 2, where it peaked. The song still ranks on the Hot 100 chart, at No. 48.

The rapper’s follow-up single also made it onto the U.K. Singles Top 100 chart at No. 61, the exact same position that “Gangnam Style” debuted on the chart last year before taking the No. 1 spot on Sept. 30.

“Gentleman” was released less than a week ago on April 12 and its music video is already on the war path of shattering YouTube records, setting the record for most views on its debut day with more than 18 million hits. As of Thursday afternoon, the comedic music video has accumulated more than 137 million hits on YouTube.
