From Billboard.biz:
Korean pop/dance sensation Psy -- who recently signed to Scooter Braun's Schoolboy Records, a part of Universal Republic -- hit NBC's Today show this morning, and was such a sensation that the show's producers had him perform his viral smash "Gangnam Style" twice on the morning show. It is the first time an artist has ever played the same song twice in the same show in "Today" history.
"After he performed, the entire crowd was chanting 'Encore! Encore! Encore!' so much that we just decided to it again," Melissa Lonner, the show's booker, told Billboard.biz. "We've had people play another song because the crowd was so into a concert - Coldplay did that -- but this is the first time where an artist performed the exact same song within the same half hour."
Perhaps the most unforgettable part of the segment was seeing the show's anchors join Psy onstage for the now-famous dance seen in the video, which has garned more than 168 million views on iTunes at press time.
