Universal records has declared in a press release that Chamillionaire has made history by having the highest selling ringtone of all time with his song ''"Ridin.''"

''"The explosive single had great success at radio, and literally transformed the digital music landscape with the savvy Chamillionaire becoming a groundbreaking ringtone artist by being the first in history to be RIAA certified triple platinum, making "Ridin'''" the highest selling mastertone ever.''"

What in the fuck is a ringtone artist? Are they implying that Chamillionaire will only make songs exclusively as ringtones now? Is this something that holds any significance with the general public? For having a supposed ear turned towards the cultural zeitgeist, PR heads have a knack sounding like total dumbasses. I can'''t imagine a better way to illegitimize one'''s client than to refer to him as a ringtone artist. I'''d rather be a member of 98 Degrees than be called a ringtone artist.
But regardless, I am excited that he has begun work on his 2nd album, entitled Ultimate Victory. Hopefully it be available in a format other than ringtones.
