Rapper/singer Psy won three awards at the NRJ Awards 2013 on Saturday in Cannes France.

The 36-year-old international sensation won International Song of the Year, Music Video of the Year and a special award for surpassing 1 billion views of the video for “Gangnam Style” on YouTube. He walked the red carpet to a cheering crowd, opening the ceremony with the performance of his mega hit song.

Since the soaring popularity of “Gangnam Style,” he was a winner at the 2012 MTV Music Awards last year in Germany and took the New Media Award at the 40th American Music Awards in the United States.
