Bloc Party bassist Gordon Moakes has said the band may not release another single on a physical format.
The bassist told BBC 6Music that the band felt the traditional release method of CDs no longer held the same importance as it used to.
"I think the days are gone where you can really make a splash in the charts, being a band like us, and have that sort of thing make a difference to your reputation and your sales,” he said.
"Music was never a competition, who ever made it a competition? One decision might be to not get involved in that and put out non-eligible things on purpose."
Moakes said he expected their current single, 'Talons', to be their final physical release.
As previously reported on Gigwise, in August Bloc Party announced the surprise digital release of their third album 'Intimacy'.
The nature of the release meant the album, which was released on physical formats on Monday, wasn't initially chart eligible.
