The iTunes Online Store Sells 10 Billionth Song!
The iTunes online store sold its 10 billionth track this week, with Black Eyed Peas’ I Gotta Feeling officially the site’s most downloaded track. This landmark occasion also just happened to land on Apple CEO Steve Jobs’ 55 birthday! What a great way to celebrate your birthday. The Apple App Store celebrated its 1 billionth app download in April 2009. Now it has had its 10 billionth iTunes Song download! No one should be happier than Steve Jobs, but the one lucky person who downloaded the 10 billion song got $10,000 (iTunes gift card) for being the lucky person.
Flo Rida, Katy Perry and Rihanna are all credited with two tracks apiece in the top 25 most downloaded chart, with British artists Coldplay and Leona Lewis featuring in the top 10. All 25 songs were released in the past five years, with the exception of the Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’, which has gained popularity after featuring in the hit TV show Glee.
