"Apple in Top Spot With Over 80 Percent Market Share
CUPERTINO, California—November 6, 2003—Music fans purchased and downloaded 1.5 million songs from Apple’s iTunes® Music Store during the same period that Napster reported selling 300,000 songs during its first week of operation. More than 17 million songs have been purchased and downloaded from the iTunes Music Store since it launched in April 2003. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the iTunes Music Store had more than 80 percent market share of legally purchased downloads last week.
“During Napster’s first week of operation, the iTunes Music Store sold five times as many songs as Napster did—1.5 million versus 300,000,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO."
I recall that when iTunes was a Mac only service they were selling around 500,000 songs a week.
