A mobile phone ringtone is set to beat Coldplay's long awaited new single to the number one spot in this weekends singles charts.
The 'song' features a frog 'singing' 'ding ding ding', set to a reworking of the Beverley Hills cop theme tune.

HMV said the Crazy Frog was now almost certain to top the new chart.

[Coldplay] had been tipped to take the UK number one slot with their first single for two years.

HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo said Crazy Frog would be the first hit ringtone to cross over into the singles charts in this way.

He said: "Music purists might not be too happy at the prospect of the Crazy Frog outselling Coldplay.

"But it shouldn't come as that much of a surprise when you consider its huge novelty appeal and the massive amount of exposure it's currently getting.

"Kids obviously find it cute and cool, but students and even office workers seem to be drawn to its rather kitsch, ironic appeal.

You can't watch music television for 5 minutes without having to endure dozens of those stupid ringtone commercials.

Whoever invented those should burn in hell. mad

I think it's a conspiracy to scare people away form P2P software. eeek

I guess it shows the pisspoor state of the UK music scene. Anyone who hasn't heard "crazy frog" could google for the ancient "insanity test", which shows a formula one car with a vocal sound effect. Apparently some guy was taking the piss out of the noise his mates' scooters made.

This also offers some explanation as to why I'm on SG so much; there's nothing else to do in the UK. wink

"Music purists" don't like Coldplay. People who don't "get" Radiohead any more like Coldplay.

I take issue. Mainstream music sales are always covered in crap. That's what makes alternative music so rewarding.
