The last I heard, music is mastered at 24/96. Early digital had a few different mastering formats, but the end result was 16 bit/44.1 Hz for CDs (Redbook).
The problem with hirez download websites is that older music is still 16/44.1 even though they may be calling it Hi Rez. New music for sale would be actual HiRez 24/96 (if the seller is honest).
