iTunes Now #2 Music Retailer In The U.S.
Has Sold Over 4-Billion Songs!
iTunes has advanced to become the number two music retailer in the US.
Apple claims it has over 50 million customers who have bought over four
billion songs--20-million of those songs sold on Christmas Day (2007) alone.
"We'd like to thank the over 50 million music lovers who have helped the
iTUNES STORE reach this incredible milestone," said iTunes VP Eddy Cue.
"We
continue to add great new features like iTunes Movie Rentals to give our customers
even more reason to love iTunes." In the U.S., only Wal*Mart
outsells iTunes.
