After dropping her new single "Best Friends" last week, YouTube/Ellen star Sophia Grace has officially landed on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, debuting at No. 87. The video for the single has already gone viral with nearly six million views. Now oddball producer Y//2//K has reimagined the 11-year-old's DJ Mustard-esque anthem as a darker, bass heavy club banger. He also manages to improve her vocals, making her sound a bit more mature. It almost makes you forget she was singing the song in the toy aisle of a Kmart for her video.
Sophia Grace first rose to popularity with her pal Rosie when they performed "Super Bass" on Ellen. She released her first pink-tinged, girl-power single "Girls Just Gotta Have Fun" back in 2013, and it now has more than 61 million views. Music isn't the only thing Sophia Grace and Rosie have managed to capitalize on.
The duo have also published two illustrated story books (Tea Time With Sophia Grace & Rosie and Show Time With Sophia Grace & Rosie), have a line of dolls with Walmart and Claire's, a line of girls clothing with Kmart, and a new film in which they are sent to Switzelvania by The Ellen DeGeneres Show as special correspondents tasked with covering the coronation of a new queen.
Watch out, world. Looks like Sophia Grace is prepping for global domination. Good thing she claims to loyal to her "best friends."
