YEAR IN REVIEW 2011: It's Friday for Rebecca Black

It’s hard not to think about Fridays without the infamous Rebecca Black song playing in your head.

The video for “Friday” hit Youtube in March of 2011 and quickly went viral. The song amassed millions of views, countless parodies, and made Rebecca Black a household name.

Yet her instant rise to fame came at a cost. Rebecca left her high school after being bullied by classmates. The internet was no kinder to her, amounting her nasally, auto-tuned voice and tedious lyrics to the worst song ever made.

But Rebecca proved that any publicity is good publicity.From making a cameo in Katy Perry’s video for “Last Friday Night” to working on her upcoming album, Rebecca has gone from an internet meme to a full-fledged celebrity.
