Rebecca Black, the teen singer who shot to fame with her viral track Friday, won’t be laughing all the way to the bank after all!
Forbes magazine incorrectly stated that the internet superstar’s iTunes sales had reached two million, which in turn suggested that she could be earning over $1 million from download sales.
However, Billboard magazine has recalculated the figure based on presumably correct download figures, which in turn saw Rebecca Black earning royalties equal to just $24,900 a week.
The website also added YouTube could be bringing in extra revenue: “She may be pulling in a bit more money from YouTube views if she had the foresight to set up a content partner agreement before she got 30 million views. If so, that could amount to $15,000 to $20,000 for her 33 million views.”
Rebecca Black’s Friday became a YouTube sensation, after it was deemed the “worst song ever” by various websites.
Black admitted she was hurt by the comments, telling ABC, “When I first saw all these nasty comments I did cry. I felt like this was my fault and I shouldn’t have done this and this is all because of me.
“I think I have talent on some level.
“I don’t think I’m the worst singer but I don’t think I’m the best singer.”
