Achieving a high position in the BEAT100 Original Music Video Chart this week, following a recent upload of his music video for original ‘When You Stole My Heart’, Trey impresses BEAT100 users and the BEAT100 A&R team as he tallies his votes and secures a BEAT100 Gold Song, Gold Video, and Gold Favorite Award.

Evidenced by Psy's music video for "Gentleman," the follow-up to his zeitgeist-busting hit "Gangnam Style," the Korean pop star has pretty clearly let mega-success go to his head. In the four-minute clip for his new single, which debuted Saturday (April 13), Psy parades through a series of chic restaurants and shops, playing pranks on female companions eager to join his entourage. The song's throbbing electro beat immediately recalls the irresistible catchiness of "Gangnam Style," but Psy's performance only showcases how much sillier he's become in the wake of his emergence as a worldwide phenomenon.

Although he expands upon the garish lifestyle he chronicled in the YouTube-record-breaking clip for its predecessor, "Gentleman" effectively parodies a rich heel, subjecting ladies within his celebrity orbit to &quo...
