Hot Ringtones
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hot Ringtones is a chart published weekly by Billboard magazine in the United States. The chart first appeared in the November 6, 2004 issue of the magazine and is compiled by Nielsen Mobile's RingScan service.
The chart is comprised of forty positions, and the ringtones are ranked by the weekly sales of their polyphonic ringtones for mobile phones. The data is collected from all major ringtone distributors and wireless carriers and represents over 90% market share.
The chart was replaced (in the print edition of the magazine) on December 9, 2006 with a new chart, Hot RingMasters [1], which ranks sales master ringtones. The Hot Ringtones chart continues to be published weekly at Billboard.com along with the Hot RingMasters chart.
