iTunes downloads vs. people in the world
Early this morning, Apple revealed that it had sold its five billionth iTunes song. This comes roughly ten months after topping the three billion mark, and a little more than two years after hitting one billion. At this rate, the number of songs purchased from the iTunes store could overtake the number of humans on planet earth (around 6.8 billion) by the end of the year.
And at 30 cents per song, Apple has brought in roughly $1.5bn from iTunes music sales alone. Not bad for something that was originally said to be just a vehicle for moving more iPods.
Just how many users are there though?
