Sorry, Psy.<br />Adele has outpaced the South Korean pop star on the race to 1 billion views on YouTube.<br />The streaming service announced Thursday that her music video for “Hello” greeted its 1 billionth view in 87 days, breaking the 158-day record held by Psy’s “Gangnam Style.”<br />“If anyone deserves it, it’s Adele and that song,” said Susanne Daniels, the head of original programming at YouTube.<br />YouTube said the feat is still rare, but newer music videos such as Katy Perry’s “Roar” and Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” achieved it at a faster pace than older ones like Justin Bieber’s “Baby” and Eminem’s “Love The Way You Lie.”
