How did This Happen??????? Please Read

I noticed this as well and it confuses the hell out of me! He's had the #1 placement for "Gangnam Style" (the most searched term on YouTube as of late) since September 29th, 2012. When I first noticed it, I thought "OK, it just a fluke, he got lucky, YouTube is shuffling things around right now" but now 2 weeks later he's still in #1 spot and is averaging 2.1 million views per day. On top of all this he's doing it all with a copyrighted video (the same video that is currently in the #3 spot). So I'm also wondering, how the heck does YouTube not take down this infringing video, so weird.

I'd love to hear Skittles and others chime in with any ideas on how this amazing placement was accomplished as well as maintained for so long.

It's a glitch - just 2 days ago my client's video went from the Front Page to the first page on his main keyword - his video sits at #11 spot with almost a million views.. while someone copied his entire video and now sits at #7 with just 200 views.

BTW Youtube doesn't take down the infringing video unless it is reported, otherwise it will sit there at #1 :D
