News: iTunes sales top 3 billion songs

The iTunes Store, which debuted on April 28, 2003, has sold its 3 billionth song. Eddy Cue, Apple’s vice president of iTunes, is quoted as saying “we’d like to thank all of our customers who have contributed to this incredible milestone.” It took Apple almost 3 years to sell the 1st billion, less than 1 year to sell the 2nd billion, and less than 6 months for the 3rd billion. At this rate, I predict that iTunes will sell its 4 billionth song by years end.
