Rock throwing twelve year olds may not like this (see yesterday's Daily for reference), but US teen pop rap star Soulja Boy has been declared the hottest music star of the moment by Forbes.com.
Forbe's Louis Hau said of the teen star, who rose to fame in the US and beyond through the net success of his single 'Crank That (Soulja Boy)': "Could there be any doubt that this kid would top our list? 'Crank That' was a multi-platform phenomenon. Heavy radio play propelled the single to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. The YouTube video generated millions of clicks and spawned a dance craze. And the single's success helped Soulja Boy sell more than 3.4 million downloads and more than 2.6 million ringtones [in the US alone]."
