Mariah Carey is on top of the Billboard charts again but 50 Cent, Bow Wow and Super Mario Bros. are closing in on the No. 1 ranking.

The music industry is ing more familiar with the latest and most unique chart released by Billboard - the hottest cell phone ringtone downloads. According to London-based information technology firm LogicaCMG, global revenues from mobile downloads may exceed $9 billion by summer 2006.

An estimated 30 million Americans, who make up 23 percent of global mobile phone owners, have downloaded ringtones, according to Chicago-based marketing research firm Ipsos Insight. Last year, just 5 percent of U.S.

users downloaded ringtones. Ringtone sales generated $300 million in revenue in the United States in 2004, and revenue is projected to top $600 million this year.

The average users spends $7.55 a month on mobile downloads with typical charges of $2 to $3 per song. We knew it was going to be a big opportunity but its amazing to see how the market has taken off, said Colleen Lecount, Sprint Nextel product marketing manager for the Kansas City, Mo.-based operational headquarters.

Young people use it the most but its ing suitable for everyone of all ages, providing the ultimate personalization. Hip-hop ringtones accounted for more than half of the $300 million U.S.

market in 2004. Fifty-two percent of 12- to 17-year- olds and 49 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds have downloaded ringtones.

Theyre better than the regular ringtones, said 17-year-old Cierra Williams, who has set up Carey, Missy Elliot and Bobby Valentino ringtones for her family and friends. Theyre more popular and I can put a different ringtone with a different person.

Clemencia Sagastume, 17, used to download between $10 and $15 worth of ringtone songs per month under her old contract but she stopped when her bills hit $65 to $100. Under her new pre-paid T- Mobile account, she spends about $2 per month downloading ringtones from the Goo Goo Dolls, Stone Temple Pilots and Kelly Clarkson.

The ringtone download market has e a three-way war between cell panies, third-party Web sites sometimes offering free downloads and pany record labels. Napster, the music download Web site, has sold more than 100,000 downloads since it began offering ringtones May 9.
