The knee-socked songstress’s video “Girlfriend” has generated thêm than 113 million views, making it the most-watched clip on YouTube. Though the total number of các lượt xem was rigged bởi Lavigne’s rabid người hâm mộ base, the achievement could earn the pop starlet as much as $2 million—the biggest windfall ever paid out to a YouTube star. Lavigne can thank her management company, Nettwork Management, for cutting such a lucrative licensing deal. Nettwork’s CEO, Terry McBride, expects to reap similar rewards in Asia, where Lavigne’s pubescent schoolgirl outfits play especially well. Rhianna and Alicia Keys are also among the danh sách of artists that have reaped sizeable checks from YouTube.
