So, what you're all telling me, internetworld, is that I didn't spend enough money on making this video?

I'd really like to see the draconian contract Black signed with these Ark folks. Think she'll see a cent from those 2 million iTunes sales?

the 2 million sales figure cannot be right. singles that only get to #21 on itunes do not sell that much, period. the "downloaded 2 million times yesterday" thing from the gma interview was a reference to number of streams on youtube, not paid downloads, but sadly that bit of misinformation has spread through the news as it tends to. it's on the wiki page too. -_____-
it charted at #33 in new zealand btw. becca's first top 40 single! :D

I made a mini-comic abt Fran Drescher once like 3 yrs ago, and my friend texted me earlier this week and asked me to make another one, and then this happened. I feel like it is a sign.

I like that she's donating the proceeds to Japan! Hope that's for real.
The song sounds better with this arrangement.

Also notably, teen internet sensation Rebecca Black enters the Hot 100 at No. 72 with "Friday." The song bows on Digital Songs at No. 57 with 37,000 downloads sold.
Radio, however, is so far largely avoiding playing Black's widely-panned track. While morning drive programs are discussing (and, thus, adding to) the song's buzz, it garnered just 12 plays in its entirety in the March 16-22 tracking week among the more than 1,200 stations monitored by BDS for the Radio Songs ranking.

OK, my first, and final, unique opinion on this.
It's not brilliant, it's not total crap.
wow. that was worth saying... OK, here's a different perspective.
In a box...
It's fully, I've always known that everyone that writes sings, usually does a song about the days of the week at some point. (Just knowing that means I never did).Someone I know had a lot of money put aside for their musical career and education. Before I met the dude, I saw this video, it was a 'funky lil number' about each day of the week, Monday, no fun day, etc. Kind of like Jamiroquais crossed with Lloyd Cole singing, if you can imagine that. It was 'alright', but the second time I saw the vid I wa already 'bored' with the song. Which is not a great result....Anyway, many years after we 'worked together' sort of, I saw that he was in the lower reaches of the chart, musical style much the same, although some of the lines were blatantly lifted from StereoMCs... Not my cuppa, but fair play he got there a little. A few years later, he has a hit for The Tweenies, with the same song slightly rewritten. Oh dear.And then, a few years after that, some award ceremony, I hear Will Young thanking him specifically for writing his latest chart topper.So, the moral of this story is...Um. carry on regardless, I guess...
