iTunes has sold its 500 millionth song. Yep, that's a 5 with eight zeros after it, which, in my book, means that mp3's for sale online is a business that I should've invested in early-on :-/

"Amy Greer, of Lafayette, Indiana made the 500,000,000th download, which was Faith Hill's 'Mississippi Girl'. For that download she has now won 10 iPods (model and colours are her choice), a 10,000 song voucher for the iTunes music store, a trip to see Coldplay and a backstage pass to meet up with the band at the show."
