Over 50 million people have downloaded music from iTunes since its 2001 launch, reports BBC News, with over 4 billion songs sold so far. iTunes' shift into the top spot, which the website has been able to maintain since, came during January and February, when iTunes gift cards, popular Christmas gifts, were being cashed in.
