CD singles could be about to take a further step closer to being a thing of the past with the release of a song exclusively via mobile phones.
Mobile phone giants 3 are set of link up with British-Italian band Planet Funk to release the track ‘Stop Me’ as a mobile download only.
According to the BBC, 3 already estimate that sales of downloaded singles via their third generation handsets already make up 3.7% of the chart.
Planet Funk had a top ten hit with the song ‘Chase The Sun’ in 2001 and Alex Neri of the band says they are excited by the link up.
“Releasing Stop Me on 3 makes perfect sense for us. People's musical habits are changing and millions of people now effectively have a record shop in their pocket 24 hours a day."
The track will cost 99p when it is released on May 8.
