iTunes sells more music than Amazon

Posted on 10 Jan 2007 at 10:16

Apple today announced that it has sold more than two billion songs, 50 million television episodes and over 1.3 million feature films through the iTunes Store. It now sells more music than Amazon.

In the US, Apple has added more than 100 movies from Paramount Pictures priced at US$9.99 to the 100 plus Disney titles it was already offering. It also has more than four million songs for sales, plus more than 100,000 podcasts to download and, again in the US only, more than 350 TV shows.

'iTunes has crossed another major milestone by selling over two billion songs - with over a billion of them sold in the last year alone - making it by far the world's most popular music store,' said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. 'And by selling 50 million TV shows and over 1.3 million movies to date, iTunes is already the largest online video store in the world as well.'
