RealNetwork’s RealMusic service launches in the UK: subscriptions cost £8.50/month, single track downloads £0.99 and full albums £7.99. Radio, music videos and ringtones are also part of the service’s offering, which is PC/Mac compatible.

Interesting tidbit: according to the article, we should expect to see more European branches of RealMusic surface during the coming year.

iTMS owns UK market too: besides Japan, that is. With 54% marketshare, it leads the pack by far. Napster follows with 10%; Wippit with 8%.
