Apple’s iTunes marketplace has achieved its latest milestone, smashing the 5 billion songs mark - just four months after it surpassed the 4 billion songs in terms of sales. that is definitely a phenomenal achievement, adding more weight to the argument that traditional CDs are definitely on the wane, and artists who want to prepare money had best hop onto the digital virtual bandwagon instead of relying on record sales at stores. that huge

shift in sales is additionally attributed to the phenomenal success of the iPod from Apple. The 5 billion mark was reached after the iTunes store opened for business back in 2003 - who wants to wager when the 10th billion song will be sold? Sometime in 2009?
