Woolworths has refreshed its online download store to coincide with its decision to stop selling CD singles in-store. Woolworthsdownload.com includes music, game, video and mobile downloads and is set to replace the former music-only .co.uk site.

Woolworths have said that every major music release will be available from a catalogue of over 1.2m tracks, with the addition of over 1,000 films and TV shows can also be downloaded.

Quote from Jim Batchelor, commercial director at Woolworths, said, “Digital downloading is now the true customer choice for listening and purchasing single music tracks. 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 downloading which is why we feel the time is right to launch our new digital site.”
