Apple has revealed that users of its iTunes online music store are now downloading songs at the rate of over a million a day.
The latest figures from Apple reveal iTunes has sold 250 million downloads since its US launch in April 2003 and subsequent launches in 14 other countries.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs said in a statement that the online music store is currently selling downloads at the rate of 1.25 million a day.
"When we launched the iTunes music store we were hoping to sell a million songs in the first six months - now we're selling over a million songs every day, and we've sold over a quarter billion songs in total," he said.
iTunes has an almost 70 per cent share of the music download market, according to the last figures for the first half of 2004 from research group NPD.
