Crazy Frog Descending On North America

Having already conquered the U.K. singles chart with a remake of "Axel F," computer-animated creation Crazy Frog has his sights set on North America, reports Billboard Postplay.

"Following its July 25 U.K. release, Crazy Frog's first album, Crazy Hits, will arrive in North America in September via Universal.

Crazy Frog began life as a ring tone, which, according to BBC News, has earned nearly $18 million to date for the Jamster company. The character crossed over into the world of music after being inserted into a dance remix of "Axel F" by producer Wolfgang Boss; the cut spent four weeks at No. 1 on the U.K. singles chart and has sold 450,000 copies in the UK, as well as 500,000 units in France."
