Jay Sean answers questions on ringtones and MP3

Jay Sean is the rising star of Asian urban music. His recent single Eyes on You was a Top 10 hit. In an interview with The Guardian, he's asked:

Is it essential to have ringtones of your music now? [...] It's not as essential as the CD, as the song is what we put all our time and effort into making - I think the ringtone just helps people identify with the track.

Will the ringtones or MP3s replace the CD? In all honesty, I'm thinking that what will happen in the next five to 10 years is that our national charts will become based on downloaded music. It's far easier to download a track now than it is to go and buy a CD.
