South Korean rapper Psy's newsingle swept the iTunes Chart Saturday, just one day after the much-anticipated release of the strong-beat song.
The new single, "Gentleman," entered top 10 iTunes Single Chart in many Asian, European and South American countries, including topping the Vietnamese chart.
As the follow-up to the South Korean star's previous global smash hit "Gangnam Style," Gentleman satirizes a tacky man who calls himself a gentleman.
The new single is similar to Gangnam Style in its fast tempo and the use of electronic sound as well as its more addictive chorus led by the would-be catchphrase, "I'm a mother, father, gentleman."
The new song employed more English words and toned down the Korean-language elements compared with Gangnam Style, in its apparent bid to draw more foreign audiences.
Psy plans to hold a concert titled "HAPPENING" at a football stadium in western Seoul later in the day where he will also showcase his new music video, according to Psy's agency YG Entertainment.
The music video, along with his new dance moves, then will be unveiled on YouTube, YG Entertainment said, which is expected to help the song climb up the charts.
Psy became an international household name last year after Gangnam Style went on to become the most watched video on YouTube, and the first one to receive over a billion views.
