FLO RIDA HAS JUST STARTED A TREND

In my original post for Flo-Rida's new single "Right Round" with Katy Perry, I predicted that it would be a bigger hit than the original hit (Dead or Alive's "You Spin Me Round") it was borrowed from.

Sounds ridiculous right? Well if that appeared to be somewhat unfounded then this weeks Mainstream Top 40 Radio report should offer some early hope for my prediction.

"Right Round" has entered the Top 40 chart with 701 more spins than last week. It becomes available for airplay at Rhythmic radio on Jan 27th. Expect another Top 10 notch on Mr. Tramar Dillard's belt.

What else did you expect from the producer who smashed 2008 with "I Kissed A Girl" & "Hot & Cold"? I'm not sure if PoeBoy/Atlantic realize the possible trend they've conceived with this song, as bad as it may be for 'Hip-Hop'.

FLO-RIDA - ROUND ROUND

Flo-Rida's remake of Dead or Alive's 1985 hit "You Spin Me Round". The original song only ever reached #11 on the Billboard 100, but peaked on the UK chart at #1 in 1985 and #5 in 2006 when it was re-released thanks to Celebrity Big Brother. Just a hunch, I think Flo-Rida's version will be bigger.

Flo-Rida - Round Round

Sounds to me like Katy Perry on the hook and quite possibly Dr. Luke on production. Don't quote me though, I'm only about 50% sure.

Fun fact: Beat Kamp, the producers of Savage's hit "Swing", released a single mid last year that also borrowed the hook from "You Spin Me Round". You can check that out here.

I'll update this when I found out more information.
