It's highly doubtful this will be bigger than "Lose Yourself". That song was a major hit at CHR/Pop, Rhythmic, Urban, and even crossed over to Alternative, helping it spend 12 weeks at #1. This isn't doing a thing at Urban, and the label isn't even sending it there. I meant with weeks @ #1 on BB. I didn't know this wasn't being sent to Urban, but then again it may be way too poppish for that format anyway.

I consider 'Lose Yourself' a classic of this decade. This can barely touch that.

Lose Yourself and Right Round should NOT be mingled in the same sentence >:(

LOL, relax people I clearly said weeks @ #1 not in terms of quality. Flo Rida's becoming the new party rapper like Nelly used to be.

So the video that's been popping up today was a fake?

^I really hope it's fake, because it's awful. It even had a black background appear from time to time. It didn't even looked like it was finished. That's how awful it was.

Its probably fake. Though, I don't know how much we should trust Wikipedia.
From Wikipedia: The music video was shot in Miami with director Malcolm Jones. The video will be released as part of the "Countdown to R.O.O.T.S." promotion by iTunes on March 10, 2009.

Yea, it is the real video. Looks like it was horribly rushed and edited. Also understandable though. The label probably knew in post-production it was already a #1 song. Why waste money on promotion and a better produced video if its already a superhit? It can't go farther than #1.
Will a good video draw more fans to buy the R.O.O.T.S. record? Probably not, since he is an iTunes selling artist anyway. To maximize my profit, I would probably attempt the same thing.

Does anyone know the digital sales for this week? Even if he did the typical 50% drop, he'd still be over 300k. I think he may have gone platinum in 2 weeks - a record!
