Theoretically she should recieve some money from the song's sales. BUT... Commercial performanceBy March 21, 2011, the "Friday" music video had been viewed more than 30 million times on YouTube.[52] ForbesiTunes Store sales, and $20,000 more from YouTube's revenue-sharing program.[53] However, the iTunes Store sales estimate was shown to be incorrect, with originally estimated that as of that date, Black and Ark Music had received "easily" more than $1 million from Billboard estimating sales of approximately 43,000 copies, roughly equivalent to $26,700 in royalties.[54] "Friday" debuted on the New Zealand Singles Chart at number 33 on March 21, 2011.[55] The song entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 72 and rose to 58 the next week.[56] It has sold 87,000 copies over the two weeks.[56] "Friday" received its first UK radio airplay on March 15 on Nerve Radio.[57] The song has also received airplay in Sweden.[58] In the United States, it was played 12 times from March 16 to March 22, considered low for a Hot 100[59] song. Despite the song's strong performance, Georgina Kelly has claimed that her daughter has not received any money from the song's sales, saying "We haven't received a dime from anywhere."

Yeah, i was going to say... considering real artists get screwed on song sales, i'd think people who have to pay to get "deals" weren't likely to see much if any money.'
Those Ark Music factory guys must be laughing themselves to the bank after there genius plan to bilk the parents of rich white girl struck it way bigger then they likely ever thought possible.
