January 7, 2013 Long before the reign of Gangnam Style, Rebecca Black ruled the online roost with her nasal, annoyingly awesome song Friday. Patrice Wilson, co-author of the song, is back with a pair of rapping pre-teens called "Tweenchronic" and a new song called "Skip Rope".

April 14, 2011 Break out the champagne: The infamous viral video for Rebecca Black's "hit" single 'Friday' has officially passed the 100 million views mark on YouTube, according to Billboard.
The feat happened Wednesday morning, inching the video slightly closer (but not really) to YouTube's all-time view leader, Justin Bieber's 'Baby,' with 515 million views.
