Gotta agree Poacher m8, it was the best choice, altho im a bit saddened as to why Britney is number two

BTW, the new Queen + Paul Rodgers album is a damn good listen

I have a Sony Ericsson mobile that uses MP3 for ringtones ....but dont have ANY of those on it i have chilli peppers -by the way , coldplay - clocks and Ceasers - jerk it out

I could have QUEEN on there but i think bohemian rhapsody would be a better choice

Did Queen write the song "We are the champions" for a reason? It sounds like they are celebrating a victory.
