Crazy Frog set to beat Coldplay to Number One
Coldplay 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."
Now regardless of whether you're a fan of Coldplay or not, this is clearly not good news. Let's be honest, if you're even considering buying the Crazy Frog single, or just downloading the ringtone then you are a brainless moron. I'm well aware that there's been some excruitating novelty hit singles in the past but if this song really does reach Number One then I fear it will be time for me to leave the country. People of the United Kingdom, I beg you - don't do it!

Leave the country?? Seeya then, you miserable, northern artichoke!
Aside from that the fact that your comments are deliberately "Froggist", you fail to see that the will of the people has spoken, and they want the Crazy Frog!!!
So if you want to keep your finger on the pulse of popular culture, sing along with me......
