Flo Rida not too concerned with selling albums

[December 15, 2010]  NEW YORK (AP) -- Flo Rida has sold millions when it comes to hit singles, but his albums have yet to get that kind of love from music fans.

His first two albums haven't reached gold status, and his latest, "Only One Flo (Part 1)," debuted at No. 107 on the charts earlier this month.

But Flo Rida says he's "not too fond of even just worrying about that." He says selling millions of singles is just as good as selling millions of albums.

According to Nielson SoundScan, the rapper's first two CDs -- 2008's "Mail On Sunday" and last year's "R.O.O.T.S." -- have sold 430,000 and 266,000 units.

In contrast, his debut song "Low" has sold 5.7 million units, while "Right Round" has moved 4.7 million singles in sales. Both songs hit the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
