iTunes Song Purchases plotted on a graph
February 26th, 2006 · No Comments

Apple recently announced 1 billion songs purchased on iTunes. I dug around the Apple press releases and tracked down some of the major iTunes milestones over the last few years. It’s amazing that there have been 500 million songs purchased since July 2005. That’s 500 million songs purchased in 7 months for an average of 71 million songs purchased per month!
2/26/06 Update:
Additional data point: 850 million on Jan 10, 2006 (announced at Macworld)
