Euro iTunes Sells 50 Million Tracks
June 24th, 2005
The European iTunes stores have notched up of 50 million sales since launch.
First to get the iTunes treatment were Germany, France and the UK in June of last year, and Apple followed this up with a pan-European store serving Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland in October.
“We’re thrilled to have sold and delivered over 50 million songs in our first year”, said Eddy Cue, Apple’s vice president of Applications. “We’d like to thank European music fans for making iTunes such a success.”
These sales figures remain a drop in the ocean compared to Apple’s global revenue from iTunes. Over 430 million downloads have taken place worldwide, mainly from the USA.
