Apple iTunes hits 5 Billion Songs Mark
Posted on Jun 20, 08 10:11 AM PDT
Apple's iTunes marketplace has achieved its latest milestone, smashing the 5 billion songs mark - just four months after it surpassed the 4 billion songs in terms of sales. This is definitely a phenomenal achievement, adding more weight to the argument that traditional CDs are definitely on the wane, and artists who want to make money had best hop onto the digital virtual bandwagon instead of relying on record sales at stores. This huge shift in sales is also attributed to the phenomenal success of the iPod from Apple. The 5 billion mark was reached after the iTunes store opened for business back in 2003 - who wants to wager when the 10th billion song will be sold? Sometime in 2009?
