International sensation PSY has made another record on KBS' music show.
"Gangnam Style" singer-rapper grabbed the trophy for the tenth straight week on KBS "Music Bank" last Friday, holding off his labelmate, YG Entertainment's rookie singer Lee Hi's "1, 2, 3, 4."
His consecutive winning streak broke the previous record of nine consecutive win by Girls' Generation's "Gee" in 2009.
The feat has been considered as an amazing record because the artist has never attend "Music Bank" since releasing "Gangnam Style" on July 15.
Meanwhile, the chubby singer became the New Media Honoree at the 40th American Music Awards [AMA] held in Los Angeles, United States last Sunday in local time.
Thanks to the winning at the AMA, he is forecasted to be invited to the 55th Grammy Awards set to be held in next February, several Korean media outlets reported Monday.
