iTunes Is Number One Music Retailer

The RetailBridge: iTunes Takes Over Number One Spot In Music Retail

Last week, Apple announced that, based on data from market research firm the NPD Group, its iTunes Music Store had surpassed the retail giant to become the number one music retailer in the U.S. According to Apple, iTunes now has more than 50 million customers and has sold over four billion songs since its launch in 2003.
