iTunes users have downloaded over three billion songs from
Apple's online
music store.
"We'd like to thank all our customers who have contributed to this
incredible milestone," said Eddy Cue, vice president of iTunes.
According to market research firm
NPD Group's
MusicWatch survey, iTunes recently surpassed both
Amazon and
the high street giant
Target to
become the third largest music retailer in the US, and is now the world's most
popular online music, TV and movie store.
The online media store, which began selling just music for iPod users, now
boasts a catalogue of over five million songs, 550 television shows and 500
movies.
The continued success of iTunes may surprise some naysayers after several
issues, including
lawsuits,
security issues around its Quicktime
component and reports that the new DRM-free iTunes Plus offering
secretly recorded
customer details and account information of the users who purchased the
titles, hit the headlines.
