CRAZY FROG's debut, "Axel F," is a combination of a ringtone from Jamster!, a premier provider of mobile content, and the theme song from the classic Eddie Murphy film, Beverly Hills Cop.
"Axel F," leaped to #1 on the UK Singles Chart and was outselling the #2 single, Coldplay's "Speed Of Sound," by three to one. This marks the first time in UK chart history that a ringtone has not only competed for chart positioning with conventional full-length tracks, but has reached the #1 position.
Crazy Frog has held #1 spot for five weeks on the Eurochart. It also ranks #2 in Finland, #2 in Sweden, #2 in Austria, #1 in Wallonia, and #1 in Norway. Estimated European sales are over one million to date. Not too bad for an animated blue biker that is based on a ringtone.
"CRAZY FROG PRESENTS CRAZY HITS" will include such classic tunes as: "I Like To Move It," "Whoomp! (There It Is)," "Pump Up The Jam," and "Who Let The Frog Out." "Axel F" has already started to create a buzz at radio, with recent adds at such stations as New York's Z-100, jumping to Top Five at Radio Disney and being the #1 requested song at Sirius Satellite Radio.
