LONDON, UK (BPI announcement) - New figures from the Official Charts' Company reveal that over 150,000 downloads were sold in January 2004 - with 50,000 sold in the week of MyCokeMusic's launch alone. This means that a digital format has outsold physical formats for the first time, with downloads now outselling vinyl, cassettes and DVD. BPI Executive Chairman Peter Jamieson said "that digital music services without doubt represent an exciting future for the music industry."

These figures add to the anticipation surrounding the UK's first Official Download Chart - which entered its test phase last October. The Official UK Charts Company (OCC) reports tests are going well, and an announcement on the launch of the chart is expected soon. Plans to integrate downloads into the Official Singles Chart are expected to follow later this year.
