Flo Rida hits #1 in Australia

US hip-hop star Flo Rida has achieved his second #1 single in Australia with his blockbuster new single, "Right Round (feat. Ke$ha)". And he has made history in the USA, with "Right Round (feat. Ke$ha)" shattering the all-time one-week digital single sales record previously held by Flo's own game-changing debut, "Low (feat. T-Pain)". This also makes it the highest digital single debut ever.

In the USA the track – featured on the Miami-based MC’s hugely anticipated new album, R.O.O.T.S. – has sold over 636,000 downloads in the week since its 10th February release, far exceeding the record-setting 467,000 sales week of "Low (feat. T-Pain)" in January 2008. The track currently ranks at #1 on the SoundScan Digital Song Chart, iTunes, Amazon, and Rhapsody.

R.O.O.T.S. – an acronym for Route Of Overcoming The Struggle – arrives in stores and at all online retailers on April 3. The album follows Flo Rida’s internationally successful debut, Mail On Sunday. As on the previous collection, R.O.O.T.S. sees Flo Rida joining forces with an extraordinary array of A-list collaborators, featuring artists like Nelly Furtado, Ne-Yo, and Pleasure P, and including production from Jim Jonson, Dr. Luke, Eric Hudson, Mike Caren, and DJ Montay, who produced "Low (feat. T-Pain)".
