iTunes Sells 2 Billion Songs

Just one day after all the MacWorld Expo excitement, Steve Jobs announced that iTunes has sold more than 2 billion songs–making it the most popular online music store.

“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 Jobs. “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.”

Currently, iTunes offers customers more than 400 million songs, 250 films, 350 TV shows and more than 100 thousand podcasts. Yesterday, Jobs also announced that 100 more movies were going to be added to the iTunes collection since Apple has come to an agreement with Paramount Pictures to release its films for $9.99 through the store as well.
