TechWeb: "Cell-Phone Tone Crosses Over To Music Best-Seller"

TechWeb reports that a ring tone, "Crazy Frog Axel F," is now at the top of the U.K. charts, with Cold Play's new song "Speed of Sound" next. How likely is it that when the history of music evolution is written, this day is seminal, like the day when the first rock n' roll song topped the charts? Are ringtones the new form of our time, to fit our ever shorter attention spans and the need for catchier, simpler sounds to go with these times?

As you can tell, I'm not a fan of the trend :). I'll post the tune if I can.
