Flo Rida boasts top ringtone in Australia for 2008

American rapper Flo Rida is top of the pops in Australia for 2008. But rather than the usual singles chart, it's Telstra's top ringtones of the year. news.com reports.

Flo Rida's smutty rap hit single Low beat Pink's So What and Sex on Fire by Kings of Leon to take the honour as the ringtone most downloaded from BigPond Mobile.

Australians spent about $30 million this year buying more than five million ringtones, according to Australian Performing Rights Association digital recordings manager Frank Roveta.

Mr Roveta said the Australian ringtone market had fallen from its peak in 2007, when it was worth about $50 million.

"The novelty of phones being able to play songs for ringtones may be wearing off," he said.
