WASHINGTON – The 10 billionth song was downloaded from Apple’s iTunes on February 23, seven years after the launch of the online store which provided a lifeline to the struggling music industry.
“Ten billion songs downloaded from iTunes. And counting,” read an online counter at the Apple website.
The California company behind the iPod, iPhone and Macintosh computer had promised a US$10,000 iTunes gift card to the person who downloaded the 10-billionth song.
To mark the landmark download, Apple provided a list of the all-time top songs on iTunes.
“I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas took the top slot followed by Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” and “Boom Boom Pow”, also by the Black Eyed Peas.
