Up-and-coming rapper Flo Rida has set a single-week digital sales
record with his song "Low," edging out heavyweights including Alicia
Keys and Fergie to take the online crown.
According to Billboard.com, "Low" is No. 1 on this week's Billboard
Hot 100 for the second week in a row and set a record with 470,000 in
digital sales, easily trouncing reigning record-holder Fergie, whose
"Fergalicious" sold 294,000.
"Low" is the lead single off Flo Rida's debut album, Mail On Sunday,
which is set to drop in February. The song features a guest hook from
fellow Florida native and R&B crooner T-Pain, who also produced the
track.
The rap newcomer's sales record came during a week when digital sales
were at an all-time high and several hip-hop and R&B hits took the top
spots.
Alicia Keys' "No One" nabbed No. 2, while rapper/super producer
Timbaland took No. 3 with his hit "Apologize." Teen phenom Chris Brown
landed at No. 4 with "Kiss Kiss," another T-Pain assisted smash, and
Soulja Boy's "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" jumped from No. 11 to No. 5.
