Right Round

This song is based around Dead Or Alive's 1985 UK #1 "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)."

The tune features vocals from a then-unknown singer-songwriter named Kesha Sebert, who later in 2009 would release her debut single "TiK ToK" and become a superstar. At the time, Kesha's claims to fame were her song "Chain Reaction" (which was featured in the MTV reality show The Hills), and an appearance in Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" video. After her "Right Round" cameo, she started using the name Ke$ha, in part because she made very little money from the song and wanted to make an ironic statement - she said that money is very low on her list of priorities. Despite her financial indifference, Kesha quickly came into a lot of cash when her debut album Animal went to #1. Money and fame led to an eating disorder, and in 2014 the glittery singer dropped the $ after a stay in rehab to treat her condition.

In this song's debut week in February 2009, this was downloaded 636,000 times, thereby breaking the record already held by Flo Rida, in January 2008 when "Low" was purchased 467,000 times. It also broke the record for most downloads in a debut week, which had been set by Eminem's, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent's "Crack a Bottle," which was purchased 418,000 times in its first seven days. Flo Rida's record lasted over six and a half years before being finally overtaken by Adele's "Hello," which shifting 1.1 million downloads in its first week in the US.
