iTunes Billion Song Countdown Contest Finished! [UPDATE]
Wednesday, February 22nd, 2006 at 2:00 PM - by Bryan Chaffin
Apple's Billion Song Countdown contest is nearing an end (as noted by our friends at MacNN). Launched earlier in February of 2006, the contest will reward the customer who buys the one billionth song from the iTunes Music Store with a 20" iMac, 10 (ten) 60GB iPods, and a US$10,000 gift certificate to the iTMS. As of this writing, the song counter is at more than 999,000,000 songs, and rising rapidly.
Update: At Approximately 12:38 AM EST, the contest counter flipped from 999,995,000 songs sold to showing the 1 billionth marker as having been reached. The winner has not yet been announced, and we expect Apple to do so sometime on Thursday, February 23rd, 2006.- Editor]
