Rebecca Black and "Friday"
Main article: Rebecca Black Main article: Friday (Rebecca Black song)In March 2011, ARK gained notoriety through a viral video when one of their songs, Rebecca Black's "Friday" (which also includes rapping by ARK co-founder Patrice Wilson) unexpectedly became an internet meme - most heralding it as potentially "the worst song ever". According to the British newspaper The Independent, Black trended high on Twitter, after the release. The song has been viewed more than 144 million times on YouTube.
Patrice Wilson of ARK Music Factory has put two music responses about "Friday" and the controversy it created. The first was posted on March 13, 2011 entitled "Friday (Rap Remix)" written and produced by Wilson and Clarence Jey, the second on April 4, 2011 entitled "Say What You Wanna Say" written by Wilson and Kustom. Both songs address some of the most common grievances against the song and in the way ARK runs its business. Both these postings have received negative attraction as well.
