'Worst pop song of all time' gets 10m YouTube hits
The Independent reported Friday that Rebecca Black's song, with its robotic vocal delivery, is either a witty parody of saccharine teen-pop or a new low in manufactured song production.
The song "Friday" is about the California girl's excitement at the impending weekend and became a sensation after she posted it on YouTube last month.
The media report said that the song got 10 million views and now jumped into the official iTunes download chart.
As a matter of fact, Black's name has even "out-trended" the Japanese earthquake on Twitter.
Most of the comments on the songs are not flattering.
Rolling Stone slammed the song's "sub-par production values, grating hooks and extraordinarily stupid lyrics".
The chorus - "Yesterday was Thursday, Thursday/ Today is Friday, Friday (Partyin')/ Tomorrow is Saturday/And Sunday comes afterwards" - has led to YouTube parodies.
Black is the product of Hollywood company the Ark Music Factory, which charges parents a fee in return for the chance to turn their child into a star.
