Rihanna has made history this week, becoming the first act to top the Aussie charts on digital sales alone.

Her new song “Don’t Stop the Music” was not available as a physical disc, yet still managed to bump Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding Love” from the top spot.

Apparently record companies will release “Don’t Stop the Music” as a CD this week, but it doesn’t look like they really need to.

So is this further evidence that CDs are all but dead? As a proud CD buyer, I really hope not!
