Flo Rida breaks U.S. Billboard Record!

Flo Rida breaks his own record for most weekly digital song downloads as "Right Round" debuts at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart with 636,000 units, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The total smashes the mark he set with "Low" (467,000) in the January 12, 2008, issue, which took into account sales from that season's post-Christmas week. The tally for "Round" also surpasses the opening-week download record set just last week by "Crack a Bottle" from Eminem, 50 Cent & Dr. Dre (418,000).

Santogold changes name to "SANTIGOLD"

Santogold is dead, long live Santigold! The Brooklyn-based electro-rap star has – yes, indeed – changed her name.

"Change the graffiti on the bathroom wall, get your tattoo fixed, get your T-shirt airbrushed and change the name on your year-end list," reads the singer's press release. "Santogold is now Santigold. She's not telling you why, that's just how it is."

However, the reason behind the name change isn't difficult to figure out.

Santogold – the musical artist, she of Creator and L.E.S. Artistes – was sued last year by Santo Gold, a jeweller, filmmaker and infomercial-based salesman. And it seems she has given in.

The other Santo Gold – the one who is keeping the "o" – is infamous for his low-budget 1985 film, Santo Gold's Blood Circus. The movie is a wrestling-themed science fiction flick, with aliens from the planet Zoran fighting the US and USSR. It was, perhaps unsurprisingly, never released.

Santo Gold – also known as Santo Rigatuso, or even allegedly as Bob Harris – still made use of the movie, inserting clips into infomercials for his jewelry business.

Blast From The Past: All Saints



All Saints...

All Saints are a British Girl Group which made it huge in the 90's and early 00's. They soon faded out but attempted a comeback in 2006, and are currently working on a 4th album to be released this year *hopefully*. Their sound was very unique and one of their highlights in their discography was "Pure Shoes". It was the theme to the Leonardo DiCaprio film "The Beach" and was co-produced with William Orbit. Take a look and enjoy today's Blast From The Past.
