Update 13/01/06:
Girls’ Generation has broken another record in K-Pop, reaching 20 million views on YouTube for the music video of “I Got A Boy” in 125 hours, just over five days. This milestone was hit in half the time as the previous record holder, Hyuna’s “Ice Cream”, which reached the mark in ten days.

Girls’ Generation’s music video for “I Got A Boy” has broken the record for the K-Pop video to hit 10 million views on YouTube the fastest, reaching the mark in only 55 hours since release.
Previously, the record was held by Hyuna’s “Ice Cream” music video, which hit 10 million views in 87 hours, followed by Girls’ Generation’s own “The Boys” at 110 hours.
It’s been 14 months since their last comeback, and “I Got A Boy” was hotly anticipated, hitting that 10 million milestone in half the time it took for “The Boys”. “I Got A Boy” is generating plenty of buzz for its wild, colorful style, choreography by the Emmy-winning duo Nappytabs, and roller coaster ride of a song.
Girls’ Generation will continue their comeback performances with “Dancing Queen” and “I Got A Boy” on KBS’s “Music Bank” at 6:00PM KST on January 4th.

They’re getting around 4 million views per day!
That’s really amazing!
To be honest, I thought the song was a little strange at first because I was used to hearing dramatic transitions in band and orchestra pieces, but not a pop or hip-hop kind of song.
Most pop songs and other genres as well have transitions, but it blends in without much notice.
When I was told to watch it with subs because it’ll make more sense, I really liked it since the song started making more sense.
Then, as I started analyzing IGAB (whether I want to [analyze a song] or not, my mind unconsciously does it), the song started getting more interesting and I was totally absorbed into.
In the beginning until Tiffany says, “Ayo stop, let me put it down another way,” the music is more beats and slow compared to after what she says, which is more upbeat and dance-like.
When they sing in the beginning, it’s a little more choppy and short compared to the transition where they sing slow and long phrases except for the chorus (but the background singing is also slow).
I love the contrast of this song, it’s what makes it interesting as well as the meaning.
Haha. Sorry, I apologize for this long… whatever you wanna call it.
I’m a music major and some things just happen. Hahaha…. ^^;
Are there records for fastest to get to 30, 40 and 50 million views?
You need to watch it more than once so I guess it doubled lol
Not surprised it was an awesome video!
Yes in deed! Agree with you!
Cough pawnage cough…
LOL, great job SNSD and don’t foget great job SONES
God bless the Soshi Family
yay!
waiting for more~! :p
love the girls. ♥
Go girls, go! More proof that they are loved all around the world. I hope they make this song available in different languages at some point. That would be awesome <3
as expected!! let’s make more record breaker!!!
Wicked awesome! I am so happy so SNSD! SNSD FIGHTING!!!
Daebaaaaak \^___^/
DAEBAK~
WOW!THEY ARE SO AMAZING!!!
It sure was so quick for the MV to gain 20 million views in just five days. I strongly have a feeling that the views for the MV will continue to skyrocket as the girls continue on with their promotions for “I Got A Boy”. The album and song both are such big hits with all of the SONEs worldwide, including SONEs in the United States. And with the album being number one on the iTunes Top Albums chart in the US and the title track getting much praise from the American media, I can easily tell that the girls’ title track is the best Soshi song ever and the album is the best Soshi album ever. Girls’ Generation are really having a very big start to 2013 and of course they will continue to have an amazing year as they prepare for their second Japanese tour as well as their American debut later this year. Things are absolutely going to get better and better for the girls as we go through 2013 together. Let’s have Soshi win some awards and make the girls so proud of us
Preach it!!! WOOO!!! SOSHI FIGHTING!!!
Good job girls :) You deserve those views, more than ever !
Don’t forget your european fans :)
Good job and Congratulation Girls! Great achievement to start 2013!
Wow.. that’s so awesome !! <3
Didn’t Hyuna’s oppa is just my style break the record earlier? I”m just wondering ^^
No, it was relatively “slow” at gaining the views.
Thanks, I thought that one gained millions of views immediately after the success of GS. Nice to see soshi breaking records
nope
That one received much criticism from my understanding compared to the original GS. People couldn’t stand her voice, at least from the US.
wow! that’s so awesome ahhh >w< so proud of the girls!!
yeay….soshi daebak…
I hope they’ll also beat the record of gangnam style reaching more than 9 billion views. SNSD JJANG ! ^O^
this video and song is garbage. i’m so disappointed. it’s not even flowing well.
why don’t you go search up the english translation to this song. it’ll make a lot more sense. my first reaction was similiar to yours.. I thought it didn’t flow well. but after knowing what the song meant, it made perfect sense. and now this song is one of my favorites from them.
Are u sone ? U don’t judge something is garbage that easily. Try to know the song better please then u can judge it again. Our girls have worked hard for this song and even they recorded the MV for 4 days. If this song concept is new to u and yes it is new for a lot of ppl, then this is a break through made by our girls.
IMO this song is brilliant..
this video and song is garbage….?????
the MV is awesome the song is somewhat you can like or dislike
don’t act like 3 years old
and bitch get the hell out this furom is for SONE only…….
@Froglet thanks for the “constructive criticism”. anyway many on here seem to like it more and more, so it’s a win with many Sones on here.
on happy note, Yay! whoop whoop! IGAB breaking records and in half the time of other kpop videos. ONLY SNSD! good job Sones for supporting Soshi, now let’s hope that they take home some trophy this week. :)
troll~! lol
@Froglet
pls learn from basic respect before judgment. igab might not be the best song from gg in your mind, you can like or dislike or whatever, still one thing i want to remind you that your harsh word only represent yourself and your personality… i just hope you dun mean to it
i think this mv is nice, brilliant dance move, new music concept which u might not get use to it immediately, still the song is already in my head.
I can’t believe that SNSD has such a big impact around the whole world!!! I hope that I Got A Boy would beat Gangnam Style and set a world record.
15 million Views as of 1/4/2013!!
I am so proud to be part of SNSD and these continual firsts!
does this seem to indicate that the balance
of enthusiasm for the girls is shifting from
korean sone to international sone? youtube
is accessible worldwide…but the charts in
which the girls are not doing as well seem
to be exclusive to korea…and youtube is
clearly the record getting shattered…it
might just be me…but it seems an odd
coincidence…regardless, it’s awesome the
support that sone, in general, are showing off!
it sure looks that way to me. i read that IGAB is not leading anymore. its trailing behind baek ji young’s “hate it” now. i understand not all sones love IGAB. i’m quite worried
OMG SO FAST. D: anyways. proud to be a sone!!! ACCCKKK~~~ someone should just compile a list of records that soshi has broken b4/since debut.. probably the 1st 9 member girl group. heeeheeeheee. i’m so excited!!!
Seconded!! Wow that list would be so long… :D
I Got A Boy is stuck in my head, I love it!
Maybe the girls’ next MV we can break 10m in 27.5 hours? ;)
How many did “Gangnam Style” do it in
Gangnam Style was a really slow starter. I think it was a couple of weeks before it started to pick up steam.
gangnam style didn’t have imfact at the beginning ,,
