South Korean rapper Psy's new video, "Gentleman," recorded more than 100 million hits on YouTube Wednesday, less than five days after its release.

The clip, released at 9 p.m. Saturday, surpassed 100 million around 5 a.m. on Wednesday.

It marks far faster growth in the number of YouTube hits than his previous mega-hit video, "Gangnam Style."

"Style" topped 100 million views in 51 days after it was posted. It remains the most-viewed YouTube video with more than more than 1.5 billion hits.
