Band Makes Number 1 Without Help Of Physical Format

I just want to get this on PSFK even though it’s a little late: While I as in the UK I heard a story that the band Arctic Monkeys made UK chart number one a couple of weeks ago (and music history) when, even though the CD was out, their single ‘I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor‘ went to number one through digital downloads….. and they rock like the Who!

All with the help of MySpace (of course).

Meanwhile, some very big corporations are investing goodness knows how much money into the physcial format known as HD DVD and Blu-Ray. When are they going to realise, that the kids don’t need physical format anymore?
