Theme tones that last forever

With the ringtone market exploding in North America theme ringtones are helping lead the way. Who wouldn’t recognize the James Bond theme as your ringer? Same goes for the Super Mario Brothers theme?

That is the appeal of themes as ringtones – they are short enough to be a solid 30 to 40 second song and they are independent of the genre of music you like. Everyone has seen a TV Show or a Movie and once they hear the theme the link between the two is instant.

With the growing popularity of TV and Movie Theme ringtones, this is a great way to personalize your cell phone. There are timeless themes such as the James Bond Theme and Bonanza Theme as well as new themes such as Desperate Housewives.

Themes are so popular that video game themes are a main stay in the Hot Ringtone Chart provided by billboard.com. The Super Mario Brothers Theme from way back, has been on the chat for 78 weeks – that is the longest of any ringtone on the chart. That is the beauty of a theme tone: staying power.
