Flo Rida has knocked Eminem off the top of the US singles chart after just one week.
His track 'Right Round', which samples Dead Or Alive's 1984 hit 'You Spin Me Around (Like A Record)', zooms from 58 to one on this week's Billboard Hot 100.
The rapper, real name Tramar Dillard, previously spent ten weeks on top of the US singles chart with his 2008 hit 'Low'.
T.I. and Justin Timberlake climb from nine to two this week with 'Dead And Gone', while Eminem slips to three with 'Crack The Bottle'.
Meanwhile, Lady GaGa notches up her second US top ten single, climbing from 12 to ten with 'Poker Face'.
Notable gainers outside the top ten include Soulja Boy, who climbs from 22 to 17 with 'Kiss Me Thru The Phone', and Adele, who zooms from 64 to 21 with 'Chasing Pavements'.
