World superstar PSY has kept his runner-up title on the Billboard chart with his infectious song.

Though beaten by Maroon 5's "One More Night" again, several critics here are pointing out the chubby rapper may top the next week’s chart as he just restarted his U.S. promotion In the fourth week of October.

In the mean time, the music video "Gangnam Style" which led him to go viral internationally, caught the eyes of over 600 million viewers on YouTube within 109 days since its release on July 15, as of Tuesday morning.

The dance tune is now to vie for the No.2 spot with Jennifer Lopez's "On the Floor" on YouTube's most-watched videos chart, where elusive winner Justin Bieber's "Baby" is keeping its No. 1 position.

Meanwhile, the 36-year-old rapper will soon go to Canada to re-promote “Gangnam Style.”
