'Gangnam Style' Has 6 Billion Views On YouTube. How Much Money Has It Made?

Remember 'Gangnam Style' ? The K-pop song by South Korean artist PSY, released on July 15, 2012, became a worldwide phenomenon, powered by its wacky music video, trademark horse-riding dance, and addictive chorus. The video became a cultural sensation, inspiring thousands of imitations, parodies, and dance videos around the world. It also made YouTube history by becoming the first video on the platform to cross 1 billion views. 14 years later, Gangnam Style remains one of YouTube's most-watched music videos, with around 6 billion views. Its enormous audience has also raised questions about just how much money the video has generated for PSY and its rights holders. When one user on X asked Grok to estimate the video's YouTube revenue, the AI chatbot said the exact lifetime figure was not publicly available. It pointed to Google's disclosure in 2013 that Gangnam Style had generated more than $8 million in advertising revenue when it had around 1.2 billion views....

Bathukamma: Salman Khan Impresses Pooja Hegde In Veshti-Mundu

The makers of Salman Khan's upcoming release Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan have added another song to the already impressive lineup of tracks. However, this new song is markedly different from other numbers in the album and in fact, most other Bollywood tracks. This is because Bathukamma is predominantly sung in Telugu and, as the name suggests, revolves around the colourful festival celebrated in Telangana and parts of Andhra Pradesh. The song begins with Pooja Hegde, Bhumika Chawla, and Venkatesh Daggubati celebrating the festival by decorating their home with flowers and creating the Bathukamma – a sacred flower stack - with the women dancing around it. Well into the song, Salman Khan and other members of the cast including Shehnaaz Gill and Palak Tiwari, make an entrance.

Salman Khan and his family walk in wearing traditional ensembles with the superstar looking dapper in a mundu, veshti, and kurta. Needless to say, Pooja Hegde is seen looking impressed with the actor's new avatar.

The catchy number has been composed by Ravi Basrur. While the Telugu lyrics are written by Kinnal Raj and Harini Ivaturi, the Hindi lyrics are by Shabbir Ahmed and Ravi Basrur. The lead vocals are by Chunchi Nagavva, Santhosh Venky, Aira Udupi, Harini Ivaturi, Suchetha Basrur, and Vijayalaxmi Mettinahole.

Watch the video here:

Previously, Pooja Hegde and Salman Khan matched steps in the romantic number Jee Rahe The Hum (Falling in Love). It has been sung by Salman Khan and composed by Amaal Mallik with lyrics by Shabbir Ahmed.

The upcoming film, previously titled Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali and directed by Farhad Samji, has been renamed Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. It is being produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and features a star-studded cast including Venkatesh, Shehnaaz Gill, Bhumika Chawla, Raghav Juyal, Siddharth Nigam, and Palak Tiwari. The movie is set to release on 21 April 2023.

Salman Khan's latest appearance on the big screen was a cameo role in Pathaan headlined by Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone.

Hollywood Shuts Down As Actors Go On Strike

Hollywood's actors announced Thursday they will go on strike, joining writers in the first industry-wide shutdown in 63 years after last-ditch talks failed, with nearly all film and television production set to grind to a halt. The Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA), which represents 160,000 performers including A-list stars, said negotiations had ended without a deal on their demands over dwindling pay and the threat posed by artificial intelligence. "SAG-AFTRA's national board unanimously voted to issue a strike order against the studios and streamers," said the union's chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland. The strike will begin at midnight Thursday (0700 GMT Friday), meaning actors will join writers on picket lines from Friday morning in the first Hollywood "double strike" since 1960. Writers have already spent 11 weeks on the picket line, after their similar demands for better pay and protections against the future use of AI in television and fi...
