Korean rapper PSY remained at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a seventh straight week.

PSY was again held off by Maroon 5's "One More Night" on the website's main chart this week despite being on the front cover of the weekly U.S. music magazine Billboard on November 3.

The 36-year-old world star made a pledge in September that he will perform shirtless if he tops the Billboard Hot 100, but he carried out the vow anyway in appreciation for fans at the October 4 free concert.

The famous "Gangnam Style" video has scored over 670 million views as of Thursday morning and is currently the second most-watched video on YouTube after teenage pop star Justin Bieber's "Baby."

To continue the red hot K-pop fever, PSY is planning his world debut single next March made in half-Korean and half-English.

Before the release, the rapper will host an exclusive concert at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California on January 26.
