Malibu residents and singing group Cimorelli recently made it to the top three of the Billboard Social 50. The group is comprised of six sisters, Christina (21), Katherine (19), Lisa (17), Amy (16), Lauren (13), and Dani (11) Cimorelli.
In placing third for the week of June 23, they beat out artists such as Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and One Direction. In addition, the Cimorellis received a Teen Choice Award nomination for Best Webstar.
The group owes its success to YouTube, from which it was discovered in 2009 after posting a clip of themselves singing Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA.”
In 2010 the group signed a contract with Universal and have had a large social media success with over 220 million views and 720,000 subscribers on YouTube in addition to 275,000 Facebook “likes” and 150,000 Twitter followers.
