marcbyers Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 CRAZY FROG SET TO BEAT COLDPLAY TO NUMBER ONECOLDPLAY look likely to be beaten to the Number One spot this week by a song originally designed as a ringtone.According to music retailer HMV, Crazy Frog's 'Axel F' is outselling Speed Of Sound by a 4 to 1 margin in their stores.Chart expert Gennaro Castaldo 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 its 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. The only real issue is whether the record label can press enough copies to keep up with the huge demand that we're seeing right now."

french_disko Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Conclusive proof that most people are ignorant, tasteless cunts. Still, at least people bought enough copies of The Crazy Frog to keep them off number one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonty84 Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 I was thinking about the crazy frog today, and how absolutely EVERYBODY i know absolutely fucking detests it! Surely there must be something we can do! I don't understand how so many people can hate something so much and yet it can still get to number one and people are still buying it! Who the fuck is buying this record? Is it the 15 year old single mothers who hang around outside McDonalds on Union Street on a saturday in Burberry? Please, please, please somebody come up with a backlash to this that can be made public, before I, and I suspect millions of others around the UK have a nervous brakedown the next time the fucking advert comes on during the break in Hollyoaks!arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Ascension Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 i think this highlights the true worth of the charts....what good are charts when the people buying CDs and deciding who should be number 1 are fucking morons.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 I hate the crazy frog, but not as much as I hate Chris Martin. I'd like to see his face when he realises he's been beaten to number one by a fucking CGI frog. Every cloud..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only real issue is whether the record label can press enough copies to keep up with the huge demand that we're seeing right now."[/quote']Proof positive that there is too much fucking babysitting/paper round money in circulation at the moment. That little blue piece of shit is symbolic of the triumph of banality and mediocrity in our society, of how the marketing and advertising men can take anything and bludgeon us over the head with it until we acquiesce and trot like willing sheep to the fucking malls to pay for the rancid swill they peddle. In his wake comes a whole menagerie of similar themed bollocks until every last drop has been squeezed from the formula. Look at the similar pattern in "reality television" or any other popular entertainment ideas. Where will it all end? How long before we end up back at the Coliseum throwing "celebrities" to the lions? Actually, no, hang on - that might not be a bad idea. We could get rid of huge swathes of those fucking non-entities in one fell swoop! Count me in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew. Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 "Actually Jamster is making a hell of a lot of money," says Daniel. "It's one of the best-selling ringtones in the world. And yes, they give me a cut of it. But I don't think it's even a little percent of how much they are making from it.""Will it make me rich? No," he laughs. "Actually that's none of your business, but no it's not going to make me rich." haha just rewards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
