It just went number one as a rebound after Taylor got done with it and PSY isn't strong enough to claim it.

Yeah, I think labels might have a reason to block Gangnam Style from the top spot, a #1 stays forever in the memory, #2s are more easily forgotten. A full korean song in the top spot multiple weeks could potentially change the industry, it could open doors for other language songs to top the charts, imagine french, german, italian, spanish songs topping the Hot 100 more often, 'cause there must be great songs that are not even translated in english. That would affect US acts. So I think 'One More Night' is just a tool of labels to block GS from topping the chart and potentially change things in the industry.
But that's not even it, at its 5th week at #1 is in the same league as other true hits from last year like 'Someone Like You' and just a week from reaching 'Party Rock Anthem' level. Is it really that big of a song? Not at all, and we gotta be real, it definitely isn't. It isn't even like the 5th part of successful as those other songs, if it tops the chart a couple of weeks more it'd be reaching 'Umbrella' or 'Rolling In The Deep' level and THAT would be a joke.
