At 3 billion songs, it’s time to reminisce. What was YOUR first iTunes purchase?

by

Apple today announced 3 billion songs have been sold on the popular music portal since it launched in 2003. Here’s a quick look back on the history of the numbers:

  • 4/28/03 - iTunes Store launched.
  • 2/23/06 - 1 billion songs downloaded (34 months to sell one billion songs)
  • 1/9/07 - 2 billion songs downloaded (10 months to sell one billion songs)
  • 7/31/07 - 3 billion songs downloaded (7 months to sell one billion songs)

This is pretty impressive. So let’s hear it…what was your first iTunes purchase? What was your first contribution to the 3 billion Apple has now sold.

Alright, here’s mine, taken from the “View My Account” area of iTunes:

May 2, 2003

  • Eminem - Sing for the Moment
  • Eminem - Without Me
  • U2 - Stuck in a Moment (Acoustic)
  • U2 - I Will Follow (Acoustic)
  • U2 - Beautiful Day (Live from Boston)

Total Purchase: $4.95

Looking forward to seeing some of the playlists…
