omg you have to be kidding me. -KFThe chart will be sponsored by the CTIA, an international association for the wireless telecommunications industry. With the U.S. mobile music market estimated to be greater than US$300 million, "generated almost exclusively from the sale of ringtones," one can understand why ringtone sales have made a large enough impact on the music industry to deserve their own music chart. It will be interesting to see how the ringtone chart compares with the regular Top 20 charts. It could be that songs that never make any other chart will make the Top 20 Ringtone Chart. I think the greatest thing about the new Billboard Ringtone Chart is that obscure music like the television theme song from "Sanford and Son" may actually have a chance.
