Apple Sells 500 Million Songs!

Our modelling had anticipated the 500m mark to be passed late June or early July, but the growth rate isn’t so far off the forecast, and the company is still on track to sell its billionth song in December, probably towards the end of the month.

Huge grats to Apple, because that’s quite a number. The last couple hundred thousand songs were selling FAST. In fact, they sold 900,000 yesterday alone. The person who bought the 500 Millionth song, won 10 iPODS, 10,000 tracks and Coldplay tickets. Check out the posting at The Register.
