Crazy Frog to Release 'Crazy Hits' in the U.S.

NEW YORK (Universal Motown Records Group) - The Frog that has made England "crazy" is now making its way across the ocean to the American shores with the August 23, 2005 release of "CRAZY FROG PRESENTS CRAZY HITS," on Next Plateau/Universal.

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 No 1 on the UK Singles Chart and was outselling the No 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 No 1 position.

Crazy Frog has held No 1 spot for five weeks on the Eurochart. It also ranks No 2 in Finland, No 2 in Sweden, No 2 in Austria, No 1 in Wallonia, and No 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 No 1 requested song at Sirius Satellite Radio.
