Have you "Liked" Gangnam Style yet?

If so, you made history Monday, along with 2,141, 757 others across the world.

The famous video by PSY, or Korean Pop Superstar, set a Guinness World Record Monday as the most liked video in YouTube history.

"Having been the 'Have you seen this?!' video of the last two months across the web, it's great to be able to award a record for this tremendously popular video," said Dan Barrett, Guinness World Records Community Manager, on the Guinness official website. "In years past it was unthinkable that something would be viewed a hundred million times, and now "Gangnam Style" has achieved more than twice this figure in just 3 months on YouTube."

The mark beats out LMFAO's 'Party Rock Anthem' with 1,574,963 likes, Justin Bieber's 'Baby' with 1,327,147 likes and Adele's 'Rolling in the Deep' with 1,245,641 likes, according to Guinness.
