iTunes Store reached 10 Billion Songs sold Milestone
Feb 25 2010, 8:00am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr
Apple today announced that iTunes users have purchased and downloaded over 10 billion songs from the iTunes Store
The 10 billionth song, "Guess Things Happen That Way" by Johnny Cash, was purchased by Louie Sulcer of Woodstock, Georgia. As the winner of the iTunes Countdown to 10 Billion Songs, Louie will receive a $10,000 iTunes Gift Card.
Mr. Sulcer will probably never have to pay for an iTunes song in his life anymore.
The iTunes Store has a catalog of over 12 million songs, over 55,000 TV episodes and over 8,500 movies including over 2,500 in stunning high definition video. With Apple’s legendary ease of use, pioneering features such as iTunes Movie Rentals, integrated podcasting support, the ability to turn previously purchased tracks into complete albums at a reduced price, and seamless integration with iPod and iPhone, the iTunes Store is the best way for Mac and PC users to legally discover, purchase and download music and video online.
