ASDA Dumps CD Singles: About Time

I thought CD singles were long dead but then I remembered that lots of young people are still stupid and pay £2-3 for a single track from the latest pre-pubescent teen princess, jumped up soapstar and boy-girl porn-bands.

Well, ASDA has had enough because it's dumping CD singles, blaming Internet downloads. Downloads accounted for almost 80 per cent of sales in 2006. Tesco dropped them two months ago. Speaking to the Beeb, ASDA music buyer Andy Powell said:

“We're reluctantly saying goodbye to one of the most important products in music history.”

Yeah right. The CD was great for albums but CD singles were always a con. Woolworths could be next to ditch the expensive Frisbees although it’s denying any such plan. At least until next month.
