News: Flo-Rida breaks records

(Sohh) 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.
