Viral sensation Rebecca Black says she will donate part proceeds of her song ‘Friday’ to assist the Japanese relief efforts.
In an interview with US Magazine, Rebecca Black said that 40% of the proceeds from sales of her song ‘Friday’ will go to Ark. “I feel bad. Japan happened so close to mine (success), and I feel like I’m taking away attention from it. I really just want to give back”.
Since the ‘Friday’ song went on YouTube just a few weeks ago it has already generated around 60 million views. 13-year old Rebecca says that means her days of being a normal school kid are over. “I wouldn’t say I can be normal at school anymore,” she says. “People recognise me so much more. People who I’ve never met before are saying hi to me in the halls. I’ve definitely gotten a lot more well known around my school”.
As of today (March 28, 2011), ‘Friday’ had generated 59,196,721 views on YouTube.
