YouTube teen singing star Rebecca Black has been thrust into superstardom after her song Friday went viral and her popularity continues to grow.
It has been revealed that more people have viewed her song Friday than the new releases from both Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber.
Visible Measures is a company that tracks the popularity of videos on the internet and made the announcement this week.
The Rebecca Black single has now been watched mote than 100 million times by internet users around the world and has sparked a series of spoof videos inspired by her YouTube performance.
If you add together all the other versions of the Friday single and combine them with the number of views of the original then the actual total of views stemming from the single video would top more than 200 million.
In comparison the new single from Lady Gaga, Born This Way, has only managed a measly 180 million views while YouTube favourite Justin Bieber has only had 65 million views of his latest offering, Pray.
Rebecca Black only posted her video two months ago but her questionable lyrics and video left the world asking if this was the worst video ever posted.
Love it or hate it, Friday has now become part of popular culture and has even even covered by comedian Stephen Colbert for the US chat show hosted by Jimmy Fallon.
