Billboard is moving with the times, and has announced that YouTube video views will be taken into consideration when assembling its famous "Hot 100" singles chart -- good news for Baauer's single "Harlem Shake," currently at the center of a new dance video craze, which has rocketed to number one.

According to a press release, Billboard is “now incorporating all official videos on YouTube captured by Nielsen’s streaming measurement, including Vevo on YouTube, and user-generated clips that utilize authorized audio into the Hot 100 and the Hot 100 formula-based genre charts.”



YouTube views of the single "Harlem Shake" have been buoyed by the unusual dance craze -- which can now be seen in thousands of viral videos -- and celebrity support from the likes of rapper Azaelia Banks, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and Ryan Seacrest. Do you think the "Harlem Shake" will be the new "Gangnam Style"?

    Considering that Gangnam style was the new Friday, which was the new Souja Boy, which was the new Caramell Dansen, which was the new Numa Numa, which was the new This Is Sparta, which was the New Nyan Cat, which was the new Peanut Butter Jelly Time, which was the new J##z In My Pants, which was the new What What In The Butt, which was the new Badgers, which was the new Never Gonna Give You Up, which was the new Get Ready To Die, which was the n-- you get the idea.

    At least Gangnam was consistent with its moves. This just looks like some kids moving around to music (much like my four year old when he dances)

    The "Harlem Shake" in addition to not having any creativity, it seems to be a dance of devil worship. Who invented this dance should buy a brain, that it is already badly burned, judging by the results that came out.

    I hate this song, I hate gangnam style too. I just have never seen the point in these videos and I don't even see the 'fun' in doing the Harlem shake.

    I think it's stupid, and not long enough to get a grasp of what's going on. Maybe if it was a little longer, but I prefer Gangnam Style.
