Which Ring Tones Are Hot Now?

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past several years, you know that ringtones have taken the world by storm. Everyone wants to express their personality by customizing their mobile phone with the latest ringtones. So what are the newest ringtones that everyone seems to want?

One way of learning this is to look at search engine tools to see what people are looking for. The number of searches related to ringtones will tell us which artists or songs or sounds are most in vogue.

One popular keyword tool is Wordtracker. Doing a search for ringtones on Wordtracker reveals that most people look for a general source for ringtones rather than just for one artist. The number of musical options available to people has grown dramatically in recent years, so it is perfectly understandable that people want to have a large variety from which to choose.

But by exploring more, we discover a few specific facts about what ringtones are hot. It is no surprise that over the Christmas holidays, Christmas ringtones are extremely popular. This is of course just a seasonal factor. A somewhat more surprising concept is that people want to use ringtones from popular television shows. The TV show 24 is extremely popular in the US and many people look for 24 ringtones. These are also called CTU ringtones, where CTU stands for Counter Terrorism Unit - the fictional government counterterrorism agency in the show. Ringtones from the show American Idol are also very popular right now.

People also search for funny ring tone sounds. The mosquito sound and the barking dog sound are both very in style right now. Some people look for irritating ring tone sounds like a high pitch tone. Maybe they want to put this ring tone secretly onto the phone of a friend for a practical joke?

Looking at individual musicians, both recent and established musical acts are well represented. Justin Timberlake, Van Halen, Metallica, 50 Cent, and a wide variety of other acts have plenty of ringtones out there.

Even video games are getting contributing ringtones. Many people look for ringtones from games like Final Fantasy, Halo, and Super Mario. Some movies are also well represented. Ringtones from The Godfather always show up among the top searches for ringtones.

So where are people going to get their ringtones? There are a few services that provide software systems that allow you to create your own ringtones from your own set of CDs or MP3 files. But for people who are not willing to spend time making their own ringtones, there are other services that give you unlimited ringtone downloads for a one-time fee. These services tend to be much less expensive than those services that deceptively advertise free ringtones but really just sign you up for an expensive monthly service plan. So it usually is rewarding to research ringtone deals fairly extensively before committing to a purchase.

But one thing is clear - ringtones are here to stay, with plenty of variety to keep everyone happy! So why not show your individuality by customizingpersonalizing your mobile phone with your own set of ringtones!
