Ouch - Coldplay Officially Runner-Up to Cell Phone Song

Apple's dad's been outsold by a frog...

"A cell phone ring tone appeared set to top the British singles chart Sunday, outselling the new single by the band Coldplay by nearly four to one.

"Crazy Frog Axel F," a ring tone based on the sound of a revving Swedish mo-ped, is the first tune being used on mobile phones to cross into mainstream music chart.

Coldplay had hoped to go straight to No. 1 on this Sunday's British singles chart with its new song, "Speed of Sound." But by Saturday, it appeared that the ring tone which is available for digital download and as a compact disc single would prevail." (AP)

It can't be fun to be in Gwyneth's house this weekend. Chris has recently been quoted in NME saying "It'll be hard to beat, for us..."
