Official from Apple: One Billion Legal Downloads
Wow, one BILLION iTune downloads. Apple just announced they reached that amount of total downloads today. The winning song? Coldplay's "Speed of Sound" from the "X&Y" album, downloaded by Alex Ostrovsky from West Bloomfield, Michigan. Remember that for future Trivia Pursuit editions.
Coldplay? Isn't it just a little ironic lead singer Chris Martin's baby is named Apple? Did he and Gwyneth know something we didn't?
Still...a billion legal downloads from around the world in just 3 years. That is astounding.
The iTunes Music Store now features a selection of over 3,500 music videos, Pixar and Disney short films, a variety of hit TV shows, 35,000 podcasts, 16,000 audiobooks and more than two million songs from the major music companies and independent record labels.
According to Apple, the iTunes Music Store is also the world’s most popular video download store with more than 15 million videos purchased and downloaded.
