It finally happened today. There is a new most popular video of all time on YouTube. For a long time, it was the Evolution of Dance.
Now, inexplicably, it's Avril Lavigne's music video for the song Girlfriend. Go figure.
Not far behind, also inexplicably, is a six second video that purports to be Britney Spears across the pool at a hotel, wearing a red bikini. It has an average rating of one and a half stars, and is entitled "YouTube Worst Video of All Time~ vote 1 star, leave comment".
Actually, the news stories and the YouTube page telling you that Girlfriend and Evolution of Dance are the most-viewed videos ever are lying. This one has about four million more hits.
I don't see what makes it so great, but Girlfriend and the Britney Spears video suck, too. Go figure. For what it's worth, the most popular video of the month is the new Jonas Brothers video from their Burning Up album.
Not my kind of thing, but the girls sure do like it.
