A wedding dance set to Chris Brown’s hit song “Forever” has become a viral internet sensation. The clip has been viewed on youtube over 16 million times. The popular clip has just gotten the parody treatment with a divorce dance filmed by a professional production company in New York City.Watch the wedding dance divorce spoof and the original vid which are both very funny. The wedding video has already boosted digital download music sales for Chris Brown’s song “Forever”.
The video has boosted sales for Brown. During the week of the video ending July 26, there have been over 50,000 downloads for the song. According to Neilson SoundScan, this brings the song up 1,721 percent from the previous week, reaching number 21 on the charts.
The song reached #3 on the charts on Amazon’s mp3 store, and #4 on iTunes. Sony Music, Chris Brown’s record label, is using the website’s management tools to add the click-to-buy link which leads to both stores. The link has been used twice the average amount, reported The New York Times.
Coincidently, the wedding video made its debut the same week as Chris Brown’s apology tape. In the video, Brown apologized for the incident that occurred earlier this year with him and girlfriend, Rihanna, which left the “Umbrella” singer battered and bruised.
This has been Chris Brown’s most successful download of a song since “Forever” was first released, in which it received 77,000 downloads on Christmas week 2008 [source]
It’s the wedding video that’s been seen all over the world: A twentysomething Minnesota couple swaying down the aisle in an energetic hip-hop line dance to the sounds of Forever by Chris Brown. The clip has been viewed more than 12 million times on YouTube and scored Kevin Heinz and Jill Peterson – and their eight-person wedding party – a trip to New York and the Today show. It’s done more than seal the happy couple’s new vows, though: It’s also helped redeem the troubled R&B singer in a way his public apology video never did.
“I think it makes people forget the bad press he’s gotten recently,” says Pat Elke, president of Advancing With Style, an image consulting company that has worked with American Express, Xerox and Merrill Lynch. “Now, instead of thinking of all the negative things about Chris Brown, they’ll all remember this video. He should be sending these people on a honeymoon.” [source]
