UK high street retailer Woolworths has announced plans to end sales of CD singles.

Commercial director Jim Batchelor explains: “CDs are alive and well for album sales, but unfortunately the physical singles market is in terminal decline. Our customers are now starting to embrace the world of download, which is why we feel the time is right to launch our new digital site.”

Woolworths Download is a RealNetworks-powered music, video, games and mobile content store. It offers over 1.2 million songs and over a thousand films and TV shows. Music comes as WMA or MP3 where available.
