Best Answer

Gangnam Style (released August 1 2012) by Psy is popular because of its catchy rhythm and beat. Of course, while most Westerners cannot hope to comprehend the meaning of the lyrics, they will appreciate the chorus, which is very memorable (Oppa Gangnam Style!, and Eh- Sexy Lady!) and in English. We can also appreciate the dancing which is very easy to replicate.
