LOS ANGELES โ The answer to the trivia question will be: โMonkey Drums (Goskel Vancin Remix) by Chase Buch.โ Thatโs the 25-billionth song purchased on iTunes.
Apple announced the sales milestone in a news release Wednesday. The company says Phillip Lupke of Germany purchased and downloaded Buchโs song and will receive an iTunes gift card worth 10,000 euros, or about $13, 500.
It took the Cupertino, Calif., company almost 10 years to reach the milestone. Customers download an average of 15,000 songs a minute from the iTunes music store, which was launched in April 2003. The digital retailerโs catalog is 26 million songs deep.
