The dance version of the music video for Girls’ Generation’s “MR. TAXI” has surpassed 60 million views on YouTube. As the girls’ third Japanese single, “MR. TAXI” is full of strong, catchy, electronic beats that are quite different from Girls’ Generation’s earlier songs. The bright yellow outfits and complex choreography showcased in the dance version have also undoubtedly led to this video’s immense popularity.
Released on April 25th of last year, “MR. TAXI” is the second Girls’ Generation music video to reach 60 million YouTube views. “Gee” was the first Girls’ Generation music video to do so and has now been viewed over 82 million times. “The Boys” is the next most popular video at 54 million views, and “Oh!” is closely following with 53 million.
“MR. TAXI” was Girls’ Generation’s first Japanese single to sell 100,000 units the first week of its physical release on April 27, 2011. It was also first on Billboard Japan’s “Hot 100” chart for two weeks in a row. The girls are currently preparing for the release of their new Japanese single on September 26th. Congratulations to Girls’ Generation for this most recent accomplishment.

MR TAXI is definitely one of their best song in my opinion :D
the dance and of cuz vocal is truly awesome and im glad tht many ppl love it too ^^
The dance routine for Mr. Taxi is definitely one of their stronger sets. Not to say that the rest are anything short of greatness, but Mr. Taxi definitely ranks up Genie, Oh! and Paparazzi in my opinion.
Then again, SNSD’s tremendous talents and skills and sheer dedication to the routine is nothing short of inspiration in its purest form. It doesn’t matter even if you’re not a fan of SNSD or Pop in general, any person who can appreciate art would not be able to deny that SNSD’s dance routines are far beyond just ‘dance routines’, they perfect it to the smallest detail, and watching do what they know how to do is pure joy. Their dance routine IS Art-from, and Mr. Taxi is a testament to that.
wow :D I love this music video, I think i did the 40% of the views xD
i’m proud to say that i contributed largely
to those sixty million views! it is awesome

Whoa. 60 million? That’s more than the population of many countries.

Mr. Taxi is how I first discovered Girls’ Generation! I’m just a random white girl from Canada that was really into Japanese anime/music. I was just browsing on youtube listening to Japanese music and in my video suggestions was Mr. Taxi! I thought it was really awesome and decided to look up more music from Girls’ Generation. Then I found out they were Korean and it was my first time listening to Korean music. Now I am obsessed with Girls’ Generation and only listen to Korean music :D! I have so much to thank Mr. Taxi for ~
