Top AT&T Ringtones in 2007

Dec 20, 2007

AT&T's Top 10 ringtone list shows mobile users are hungry for music by popular artists instead of polyphonic sounds created specifically for cell phones.

AT&T released a list of the Top 10 most downloaded ringtones, revealing that mobile users are hungry for realtone music by popular artists instead of polyphonic sounds created specifically for cell phones.

Realtones, also referred to as true tones and music tones, are snippets of real songs that are used as ringtones. Polyphonic ringtones, on the other hand, are versions of songs made with a synthesizer and intended to play on any cell phone.

AT&T's Top 10 ringtones downloaded in 2007 are as follows:

  • "Party Like a Rockstar" by Shop Boyz
  • "This Is Why I'm Hot" by Mims
  • "Crank That" by Soulja Boy
  • "Rockstar" by Nickelback
  • "Don't Matter" by Akon
  • "Buy You A Drank" by T-Pain
  • "A Bay Bay" by Hurricane Chris
  • "Beautiful Girls" by Sean Kingston
  • "Pop, Lock & Drop It" by Huey
  • "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie

Apple last week added the capability to allow users to create their own ringtones in GarageBand and export them to the iPhone. Users can choose songs from their iTunes library to create ringtones. AT&T's Top 10 list revealed that out of the 40,000 ringtones it offers, the most popular ones are the carrier's music tones.

"Ringtones continue to be one of the most popular entertainment features on wireless devices, whether they're hip-hop, alternative, classic rock, pop, Latin, country or even holiday tunes," said Mark Collins, VP of consumer data at AT&T's wireless unit, in a statement.

AT&T's ringtones cost $2.49 each. Customers also can sign up for MyMedia Club to get credits that can be redeemed for ringtones, graphics, and games. Packages start at $6 a month.

To bring out holiday spirit in customers, AT&T also is offering customers songs of the season as ringtones free of charge. To obtain a holiday ringtone, customers should send a text message with the word "gift" to the number 7230.
