Ring Tone Tops Coldplay for #1 in UK

According to the Offical UK Charts Co., a cell phone ring tone is set to make history as the first song for mobile phones to crossover into the mainstream charts. "Crazy Frog Axel F", which is based on the sound of a revving Swedish moped, looks as if it will replace the new Oasis track "Lyla" as the new number one song in the UK.

Crazy Frog beat out Coldplay, who had hoped to go straight to number one with their new song "Speed of Sound." It was widely expected that, based on sales alone, the ring tone would edge out the popular British band. Crazy Frog, which is based on a decade-old song by 17 year-old Daniel Malmedahl, has received massive exposure and sold well in 5,600 retail locations from where the chart bases its figures.
