Crazy Frog leaps to top of charts - Cnn.com

Ouch. Can't believe Cnn.com has a post on Crazy Frog. It's really getting lots of exposure this week. Head on over to my crazy frog section for more ringtones and wallpapers.

| A track based on a cell phone ring tone famed for its ability to infuriate listeners topped Britain's singles charts on Sunday, beating the new track from Coldplay to the No. 1 spot.

"Crazy Frog Axel F," inspired by a ring tone based on the sound of a man imitating revving mopeds, was the highest-selling single in the list compiled by The Official UK Charts Company.

The chart takes into account sales of CD singles and downloads.

"Crazy Frog Axel F" is the first cell phone ring tone to cross into mainstream music charts, said Gennaro Castaldo, a spokesman for HMV, the British music retailing chain.

The track is a reworking of "Axel F," Harold Faltermeyer's theme to the "Beverly Hills Cop" films. ||

Funny. Even Crazy Froggie made it on MobileTracker.net

The owner of this website makes USD 5000 a month posting mobile news. Wow.

| A ringtone made its way to the top of the British singles chart this Sunday, topping Brit-rock group Coldplay. Ringtone Crazy Frog Axel F outsold Coldplay's Speed of Sound 4-1, making for a disapointing opening weekend for the popular band.

Crazy Frog Axel F is based off the revving sound of a Swedish mo-ped. It marks the first time a ringtone made it to the singles chart for conventional music sales. Interestingly enough, most of the ringtone's sales have come from a CD, not from digital download. |

Crazy Frog ring tone hits top of UK charts - Stuff.co.nz

Stuff.co.nz reports on Crazy Frog.

More crazy frog news here and more. The best archive for crazy frog ever. Yes. I am not joking.

The Crazy Frog mobile phone ring tone shot straight to the top of the UK singles chart on Sunday – the first time a ring tone has achieved such a feat.

The Official UK Charts Company said Crazy Frog's Axel F, which went on sale as a CD last week, kept Coldplay's new release Speed Of Sound into second place.

For all its popularity, the Crazy Frog has also aroused loathing.

Earlier this year the Advertising Standards Authority received complaints from viewers who not only objected to the frog's visible genitalia but also the frequency of the television spots.

Television adverts that plug the tune feature an animated frog wearing a broad smile singing the distractingly catchy "ding ding dididing...".

At number three in the charts was American hip-hop artist Akon's Lonely down from second place while at number four was "1 Thing" a new release from Amerie.

Cartoon band Gorillaz slipped one place to five with Feel Good Inc, just ahead of last week's number one from Oasis.

The one-time bad boys of Britpop enjoyed only one week in the top slot with Lyla, which was their seventh number one single.

At seven was America's Black Eyed Peas and their Don't Phunk With My Heart and at eight was Gwen Stefani's new entry Holla Back Girl.

At nine was another new entry, Audio Bullys featuring Nancy Sinatra with Shot You Down. Rounding off the top 10 was charity chart hit (Is This The Way To) Amarillo from Tony Christie and Peter Kay.

'Crazy Frog' becomes cult figure

Some mention of the Crazy Frog in Ringtonia on 25 May 2005.

Some great hype has gone hand-in-hand with the advertising. There are websites dedicated to Crazy Frog, with talk of releasing a dance mix of the ringtone as a single. On Radio Aid day in January, Chris Evans played Crazy Frog to Tony Blair during a discussion about mobile ringtones - an exchange that was then repeated in news bulletins across the day. Crazy Frog even made it onto Classic FM. Via Ringtonia here and here

Crazy Frog History

Mobile tune makes history

Via IHT

A mobile phone ring tone based on the sound of a revving Swedish moped was expected to top the British singles chart on Sunday.

Through Friday, "Crazy Frog Axel F," the first tune created for mobile phones to cross into mainstream music charts, was already outselling the new single of the group Coldplay by about four to one, the Official UK Charts Co. said.

This milestone may make little sense to anyone who has never downloaded a ring tone, but with children as young as 10 years old personalizing the sound of their cellphones, it is a sign that digital music in all forms has become a major entertainment medium for the under-30 set............


"Listen to this song and you can hear the death knell of the traditional music industry," Malcolm McLaren said.

McLaren, who has managed such best-selling acts as the Sex Pistols, Adam Ant, Bow Wow Wow and Boy George, added, "The world focus of creative expression is on the Internet, and the old-fashioned retail world is only now trying to catch up."

The single was expected to sell 150,000 copies in the seven days that end Sunday, far outstripping the 50,000 sales level that often merits top place on the charts, but still well below the cumulative one million copies sold this year of the best-selling single "Show Me the Way to Amarillo," by Tony Christie.

Compiled since 1952, the singles chart is based on sales at 5,600 retail shops across Britain. Sales over the Internet via digital download have been included since the chart of April 17, but almost all sales of the "Crazy Frog Axel F" came from retail stores selling the CD single, according to Paul Clifford, operations director of the Official UK Charts Co., a joint venture of the British Association of Record Dealers and the British Phonographic Industry.

HMV, the British music retailing chain, is selling the recording for £2.99, or $5.46.

"This song is incredibly irritating and puerile and we're still trying to understand why people like it," Gennaro Castaldo, a spokesman for HMV, said.

Indeed, the story of the song itself is a tale of Internet collaboration over time and across international borders between people who never met.

About five years after Malmedahl sent an e-mail message containing his moped MP3 recording to friends, it reached another Swede whom he had never met.

That Swede, Erik Wernquist, used the noise as soundtrack to a cartoon entitled "The Annoying Thing" that featured a blue frog with a goofy grin, motorcycle helmet and leather jacket. Nearly two years later, the sound was picked up by a company specializing in ring tones, Jambal, and quickly became their most popular download, becoming known as the "crazy frog" ring tone.

This year, two German club disc jockeys, Reinhard Raith and Wolfgang Boss, mixed the noise in with "Axel F," a tune from the 1984 Eddie Murphy film "Beverly Hills Cop," and released it this week as a CD single. Other versions of it are available for sale on various Web sites.

Crazy Frog Axel F Single Topping UK Charts

Crazy Frog could be the No.1 Song this year on the UK Charts. Hurrah for that .

A song featuring Jamster`s much-criticized Crazy Frog ring-tone headed to the top of Britain`s music charts.

Jamster is spending a whopping $13 million this month advertising the cell phone tone in Britain, which sparked hundreds of complaints about the frequent commercials backing the tone that many find annoying.

Even so, an estimated 150,000 people downloaded the tone this week alone, The Guardian reported.

People also flocked to London-based music retailer HMV to buy the Bass Bumpers song that mixes the ring-tone with "Beverly Hills Cop" theme song "Axel F."

HMV said the German band`s "Crazy Frog Axel F" was outselling Cold Play`s "Speed of Sound" 4-1.

"Given the amount of exposure and advertising Crazy Frog has had, it shouldn`t be that surprising that it`s heading for No. 1," an HMV spokesman said. "The only real issue is whether the record label can press enough copies to meet demand."

Crazy Frog's single Axel F hits all high on AOL

The Crazy Frog has already dominated our TV screens with the incessant advert for the annoying ringtone. Now high street stores are predicting it will take the number 1 spot ahead of Coldplay's new single Speed Of Sound and the Star Wars single Battle Of The Heroes.

The Crazy Frog's single Axel F combines the original ringtone with the remixed Beverley Hills Cop theme tune and the animated video for Axel F recently became the most popular video on AOL's music channel when it was streamed 199,000 times in one day, beating the previous most popular stream, Britney's 'Me Against The Music'. On the Crazy Frog's website www.axelfrog.com the video had over 500,000 viewings in 2 weeks.

A spokesperson for Gusto Records, the Crazy Frog's record company, said: "This late surge in orders from the stores last week caught us a little on the hop. However we have had three manufacturing plants working over the weekend to ensure that all orders will be met."

Crazy Frog on ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 and around 100 satellite channels

complaints on that froggy again ? so many news about this going about..

ANGRY viewers have bombarded the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) with hundreds of complaints about a TV campaign for Crazy Frog ringtones, which has been described by some as the most annoying ever made.

Amid growing criticism and worries that viewers were turning to the BBC to seek refuge from the saturation advertising campaign, ITV last night pledged to "review its position".

The ad is being run on ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 and around 100 satellite channels. Crazy Frog's owner, the American company Jamster, is spending £7 million on the campaign this month alone.

The ASA said it had received 400 complaints from viewers annoyed at the frequency of the 30-second advertisements, which run once or twice an hour across much of the day.

Donna Mitchell, spokesman for the ASA, said: "People seem to find it very annoying, but how often an advert is aired is not within our remit. We can only take action against the content of ads."

Such is the apparent level of viewer unhappiness that the ASA website gives visitors advice on where to complain about the Crazy Frog.

Few commercial TV viewers can escape the sight of a motorbike-riding frog during advert breaks.

The campaign is selling a £3 ringtone based on the Axel F theme tune from the film Beverly Hills Cop.

An ITV spokesman said: "The Jamster campaign has not broken any broadcasting guidelines at the moment, but we are reviewing the position."

The fast-growing UK ringtone market is worth more than £300 million a year.

Going crazy with Crazy Frog before the Axel F launch

Wonder if this will catch on in Asia ?

MOBILE RING TONE THAT'S DRIVING MILLIONS CRAZY

By Damien Fletcher

IT could be the most annoying - and addictive - tune of all time, and it's about to top the pop charts.

Millions - especially children - have been downloading the Crazy Frog ring tone while their parents despair at the cost.

Now, to add to their misery, the infuriating tune has been released on a CD and pop gurus are already predicting that the song will go straight to Number 1...

An astonishing 11 million people in Europe have already downloaded it - and Jamster, the company selling it, has made a £10million fortune.

The commercial for the ding-ding-didalee mobile phone tune has been aired repeatedly on ITV, C4 and C5, alongside its equally irritating background, the theme tune to the movie Beverly Hills Cop - Axel F.

In fact, the Advertising Standards Authority has been forced to set up a special website explaining how to complain about Jamster, after receiving nearly 400 complaints about how often it is being shown on prime time TV.

A statement on the website reads: "We are aware of viewer concern about the current frequency of Jamster advertising and the terrestrial channels have been informed."

ASA spokesman Matt Wilson said: "We have been getting a lot of complaints about the frequency the Crazy Frog ad is shown. People seem to find it very annoying, but how often an ad is aired is not within our remit. We can only take action against the content of ads."

Exasperated viewer Ann Lambert, 57, of Maidstone, Kent, said: "The Crazy Frog advert seems to be shown all the time. Every time I turn on my TV the annoying tune is blaring out. It is driving me crazy."

Another Crazy Frog "fan"

Here's another dude going crazy with Crazy Frog. I get my alerts with google.
Its Martin at Coolsmartphone

That annoying thing, commonly known as the crazy frog. That sound was on a website, www.studentfreestuff.co.uk long before som muppet decided it sounded like a crazy frog, and a very lucrative frog too. If anyone is prepared to pay up to £4 for a 3gp video of this it is them who is surely crazy, especially after it became widely available on the intenet as a 3gp download soon after it appeared on every commercial break in the country.

It is about time these so called mobile clubs took a long hard look at what they have on offer, two primates passing wind, two birds singing on a washing line, but the saddest thing is the people who pay to own them, as if they are individual when 75% of mobile phones have some reference to a crazy frog.

I dont mean to be boring and i understand it is only a bit of entertainment but just adding the frog to the Beverly Hills Cop theme tune is, well a bit rubbish. I just think the Frog has had his time in the sun and shoul by now be well and truly sunburnt, and quickly replaced by something fresh and original like this little frog once was.

The annoying Jamster Crazy Frog

This guys get irritated by the frog. I used to be like that but now I think it cool. The Axel F Remix is even better.

By Gears (CoolSmartPhone)

13 May 2005
It's not often I get totally and utterly peed off with stuff. Generally I'm an easy going chap, happy with the world and everything in it. However, sometimes I can get extremely annoyed... today is one of those days...

I firmly believe that somewhere in the world, perhaps in a little hole buried deep in StupidVille, there's a big bunch of fools. Complete fools. Dim-witted, unintelligent, brainless, outrageously absurd freaks.

It's these people I want to target... I know there's a lot of them. There's many, many, many of them.. these are the people who've gone out and purchased "Lonely" by Akon and taken this irritating bilge straight to number 1 in the charts. These are also the people who continually line the pockets of ringtone millionaires Jamster..

Oh yes.. I'm gonna mention Jamster again...

| Jamie Oliver has received much justified praise of late for his campaign to improve the health of the nation's children. I mention Mr Oliver as there is now an equally disasterous threat to our youth's wellbeing - Crazy Frog.

You may have seen this animated creature on TV recently - jumping up and down and jabbering incessentally, the frog is designed to appeal to children and the mentally subnormal to part with their money and download its unbelievably irritating cries as a mobile phone ringtone. Now somebody (allegedly German dance act Bass Bumpers, who really should be in hiding now) has decided to cover Harold Faltermayer's '80s classic Axel F and stick the frog's jabberings over the top of it. And your kids may want to buy it. |
