If you think Britney Spears needs publicity then you are mistaken. In fact she’s already become famous as she scooped the number one celebrity viral video this year.
A clip of Spears burping and talking incoherently about her belief in time travel was viewed more than three million times to take top spot comfortably, said ViralVideoChart.com.
Live TV footage of Spears’ former husband Kevin Federline apparently getting a text message informing him the pop singer had filed for divorce was second with nearly two million hits.
Seinfeld co-star Michael Richards’ racist outburst was third in the 2006 chart with over a million hits just four weeks after it was first posted online.
Viral video is the term used to describe clips that gain huge popularity after being posted on the Internet, spreading like viruses through emails, blogs and instant messages.
ViralVideoChart.com scans several million blogs a day to see which clips are being talked about most and compiles a daily list of the 20 most-viewed videos.
Lindsay Lohan talking less than generously about socialite Paris Hilton was fourth, while a video of Hilton crashing a Bentley scooped fifth place.
This time Brit didn’t have to do anything to become famous, publicity itself is following her!
