Thanks for the article, he is my take on this…

I think Avril deserves the no. 1 spot because YouTube has disabled the counts used by automated systems and has deleted all of those views, additionally Avril’s videos are not embedded anywhere else but in YouTube, unlike Evolution of Dance’s video which is embedded all over the internet. It is quite amazing that Avril’s video has managed to rack up that many views without embedding, If Avril’s video had been allowed to be embedded by RCA it would have already far surpassed the Evolution of dance video long ago.

Also the Evolution of Dance video has been out far longer than Avril’s video and it has caught up in record time, proving the immense popularity of the song worldwide.

Avril’s song Girlfriend was the most legally bought and downloaded song of 2007.

Furthermore, Avril was the best selling female artist in the world in 2007 according to http://www.worldwidealbums.net/2007.htm

And Avril Lavigne now has the most NO. 1 Top 40 Hits This Decade. Avril Lavigne has ascended to a lofty pedestal: The 22-year-old now has the most No. 1 top 40 hits this decade at “five” and is the No. 2 artist in the 14-year history of Nielsen BDS, behind Mariah Carey’s six chart-toppers. —Chuck Taylor (Billboard.com)Source: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/content_display/reviews/singles/e3i6337374c02990aa382432d13494ab554

The song Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne was the most legally downloaded mp3 song in the world in 2007, so there is no denying that the song is overwelmingly popular.

[...] Weekend Vid Picks: TED Talks, 50 Million Views And Counting Maybe it’s just leftover trauma from high school, but I’m always a bit bitter when I hear about how awesome some party was — some party to which I was not invited. In the case of the annual TED conference, though, I don’t mind so much, mainly because they now do a fantastic job of providing video highlights all year long. And there’s an entire Internet that agrees with me — this week, TED talk videos hit 50 million views, an impressive achievement given that there’s no army of Avril Lavigne fans doing their bidding.

It is creepy, Avril is a skanky version of Britney - that's not good. Hahahaha, such a poser..getting her low life fans to watch her crap videos.

She is not rock/punk - she's no more than a pop industry strategy

BTW - the person who wrote that bandaids is not creepy has a creepy, retarded way of writing. Can't you use the f***ing caps lock button properly???
