Apple Starts Countdown to One Billion iTunes Sales
February 7th, 2006
Apple is preparing to celebrate the sale of the one billionth track through the iTunes music store by awarding a gift to the person that makes the milestone purchase.
The lucky shopper will win a 20 inch iMac, 10 60GB iPods, and a $10,000 iTunes gift card, as well as having an Apple music scolarship in their name (slightly strange that one). However, it’s not just the one billionth customer that surfs home with goodies, the 999,900,000th customer does as well… and the 999,800,000th…and you get the drift. The minor prizes are a 4GB iPod nano and a $100 iTunes gift card.
“Music lovers like you in 21 countries around the globe have purchased nearly one billion songs from the iTunes Music Store,” says the Apple website. “And as we count down to this massive milestone in digital music history, we’d like to thank you for joining us.”
We’ve got one billion reasons to celebrate, and we’re starting with you
