IMG/Poe Boy/Atlantic recording artist Flo Rida is without question one of today-s most vibrant and recognizable superstars, a true international icon and history-making hip-hop hero. The Miami-based rapper burst onto the scene in 2007 with his record-breaking #1 hit, “Low (Feat. T-Pain),” which spent 10 consecutive weeks atop the Billboard “Hot 100.” With worldwide sales exceeding 12 million, “Low” — found on Flo Rida-s acclaimed 2008 debut album, “MAIL ON SUNDAY” — is one of the most successful digital singles of the past decade, making its way into the Guinness Book of World Records as 2008-s best-selling download in the United States.
In 2009, Flo Rida broke his own record when “Right Round” made history with more than 636,000 digital sales in its first week of release — still the biggest debut digital sales week for any single ever. The single proved equally successful around the globe, reaching #1 in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. In addition to guest appearances on such tracks as David Guetta-s “Where Them Girls At (Feat. Flo Rida & Nicki Minaj),” the iconic rapper has made non-stop worldwide noise with an array of his own international party anthems, including “In The Ayer (Feat. will.i.am),” “Club Can-t Handle Me (Feat. David Guetta),” and “Sugar (Feat. Wynter Gordon).”
In 2012, Flo Rida once again dominated Billboard-s “Hot 100” chart. With nearly 4 million digital singles sold worldwide, the sultry smash “Whistle” became Flo Rida-s third #1 hit on the “Hot 100”. All told, Flo Rida has sold over 75 million singles worldwide. For more information, please visit:
