Update: iTunes Billion Songs Countdown

That’s it! The billionth song has been sold on the iTunes Music Store. Just a little over two weeks after our original post, Alex Ostrovsky made the billionth purchase when he downloaded Coldplay’s latest album, X&Y. For those of you that were vying to be the recipient of the grand prize 20″ iMac, 10 iPods, $10,000 iTMS money and the creation of a new scholarship to Julliard in your name, you can take some comfort (or maybe not) that at least the winner was a Michigander. Alex hails from West Bloomfield, Michigan and I’m sure you are all with me when I say, “Congratulations, you son of a bitch.”
