"Friday" Singer Rebecca Black Is a Millionaire

Since hitting the online music store last Monday, "Friday" has amassed a staggering number of downloads, reportedly topping 2 million; the song currently sits at #45 on the iTunes Top Singles chart. According to 101 Distribution, an independent music distributor, iTunes pays out $.70 per single download in the United States. That's a much juicier check for Black and Ark Music Factory; even if the numbers are exaggerated, the intake from "Friday" could easily top $1 million. What's more, Black is planning to release an acoustic version of the song to disprove speculation that her voice is reliant on AutoTune. Cha-ching! (Forbes)
