12": Rebecca Black: Friday (2011)

"Friday" is a song by American recording artist Rebecca Black, written and produced by Clarence Jey and Patrice Wilson. It was released as a single on March 14, 2011 by Ark Music Factory as Black's debut single. The music video for the song became a viral hit due to criticism of the song's lyrics, the use of Auto-Tune on Black's vocals, and the content of the video. On March 11, 2011, the video's view count on YouTube was still about 4,000. As of April 15, 2011, the video had amassed over 102 million views, 2.1 million comments, and 2 million "dislikes". Since the growth in popularity of the song and video, there have been numerous parody videos and remixes. Forbes stated that the notoriety of the song is another sign of the power of social media - specifically Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr, in this instance - in the ability to create "overnight sensations." Despite the scathing reviews, pop music celebrities Chris Brown, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, and Simon Cowell have supported Black. You are either going to love it or hate it, either way one thing is for sure you'll find some excellent remixes to this track on this vinyl, and you'll be singing along days later whether you like it or not! Haha, enjoy!
