Apple (http://www.apple.com/) has launched a "1 Billion Song Countdown (http://www.apple.com/itunes/1billion/)" for the number of songs sold through their iTunes music store.

i really like how they have all the album art scrolling down the right side and if you click on an album it will take you to that album in your iTunes music store... genius

[ramomcferno]

Amazing! To think people thought we wouldn't pay for song downloads if they were offered.

[DeathCabForCoon]

Jesus do you see how fast that counter is moving?

[Chemical Love]

I want to win this shit.

[Go Analog Baby]

Yeah, they'll be done with a billion soon. That is an awesome grand prize.

[Jonathan Lally]

heh.

[Kram41]

By the pace of that counter, I calculated about 18 days left until the 1 billionth song if they stay at the 30 songs per second pace.

[youareallfreaks]

isn't that a count UP?

[muddysocks7]

if you use your education discount you can get the 1 GB nano for 129.... or a 1 GB shuffle for 89... taking it to the masses

[imirish06]

[rusinrockt]

Efforts like this make me realize that some people will want to win this a lot more than I will...
