iTunes sells 3 billion songs

Apple announced today that the iTunes Store has sold more than 3 billion songs since it’s debut on April 28 2003. It took almost 3 years to sell the first billion songs, less than a year for the second billion, and now just six months for the third billion. Scraping together that first billion is always the hardest…

The iTunes catalog now contains more than 5 million songs, 550 TV shows, and 500 movies.
