Apple’s iTunes Music Store has dished out its 1 billionth purchased song. I won’t bore you with trying to figure out how many iPods that would fill (that’s what the Math majors are for!), but considering that music downloading is still in its infancy, it’s an impressive total, indeed.

The iTunes Music Store was launched in April 2003 and sold its first million in roughly a week. It’s currently the leader in legal download market share.

There’s no word on who won yet, but here’s hoping it was me! Or at least someone I know so I can get in on one of those video iPods!

UPDATE The winner is Alex Ostrovsky of West Bloomfield, Michagin who downloaded Coldplay’s “Speed of Sound.” Alex will be the proud owner of ten iPods, a $10,000 iTunes gift card, and a 20” iMac; Apple will also create a scholarship to the Julliard School of Music in his name.
