A little over two months ago, Rebecca Black's life was like that of any other normal American 13 year old girl attending junior high school, hanging out with friends, going to the mall. But this week, after a little more than two months since its debut, Rebecca's hit single "Friday" smashed the 100 million view barrier on YouTube, making the clip the 23rd most watched music video of all time on the site.
Happy Friday, ya'll! To celebrate this weekend-bordering day, we bring good tidings: The fact that Rebecca Black's "Friday" has reached 100 million views on YouTube.The most viewed video of all time on YouTube is "Baby" by Justin Bieber, who can count Ms. Black as one of his biggest fans.
But Rebecca's "Friday" which broke through the 100 Million view barrier after just 63 days is already outpacing the Bieber track which took 67 days to reach the lofty milestone.
"Friday" has also turned Rebecca into a star who is recognized everywhere she goes, which is understandable considering the hit song is the Number Two most discussed clip on YouTube, surpassed by only, you guessed it, "Baby." But like many "overnight sensations," Rebecca's road to fame didn't really come overnight.
"The Time (Dirty Bit)," which is at No. 42 with 100.2 million. Next are "Potter Puppet Pals: The Mysterious Ticking Noise," at No. 41 with 100.3 million, and the Lonely Island's "Jizz in My Pants," at No. 40 with 100.9 million.
And while the song has had some detractors, there are more than a few powerful music industry luminaries in Rebecca Black's corner. Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell are big supporters.
Jonas Brothers recently sung "Friday" in concert, as did Justin Bieber. Even pop superstar Lady Gaga is behind the young singer declaring recently in an interview that "Rebecca Black is a genius."
And while "Friday" continues to attract fans in countries all over the world, Rebecca is spending her spring break from school working hard in a Los Angeles recording studio and expects to have more music out soon.
