iTunes Store Tops Three Billion Songs
Posted by Dr. Macenstein
Apple today announced that more than three billion songs have been purchased and downloaded from the iTunes Store, presumably 2 billion of which are from Fergie.
“We’d like to thank all of our customers who have contributed to this incredible milestone,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s vice president of iTunes. iTunes features a catalog of more than five million songs, 550 TV shows, and 500 movies, and it recently surpassed both Amazon and Target to become the third largest music retailer in the US
If these numbers continue to hold up, Apple’s iTunes sales will surpass the number of chickens on the planet (currently estimated to be 8 billion) by 2010. Amazing.
