Out of all his songs over the years, this is the one that takes him to the top of the UK charts. :lol That song is shit, tsc, tsc.

Late rapper TUPAC SHAKUR has scored his first ever UK number one single on Sunday (26JUN05) with his 13th posthumous hit.

The hip-hop star's song GHETTO GOSPEL, which features vocals by ELTON JOHN and is remixed by EMINEM, knocked the annoying ringtone track AXEL F by CRAZY FROG off the top slot.

Shakur's first British hit I AIN'T MAD AT CHA charted at 13 just two months (NOV96) after his fatal shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada, in September 1996.

Other new entries in the top five include R+B newcomer BOBBY VALENTINO's sexy song SLOW DOWN and MVP's hip-hop anthem ROCK YA BODY at five.

Meanwhile, COLDPLAY's third disc X+Y remains at the top of the album charts for a third week, despite competition from new releases by JAMIROQUAI with his album DYNAMITE.

the frog ringtone >>>>> the last 2 Tupac cds

You must be fucking kidding me. No matter how bad those 2pac cds were, you cannot possibly chose the crazy frog over those. That's just wrong.

The fact that Crazy Frog managed to outsell new singles from U2 and Coldplay during its reign at #1 is pretty mindblowing.

its the uk singles sell like shit and the only people that buy them are idiots. Smart people buy albums. It's true

Smart people don't buy at all.

How many songs did he record and how many more albums can we expect from this guy? The only thing I like from the new song is Elton John's vocals sound fantastic.
