iTunes Music Store Sells 1 Million Songs in 3.5 days
Furthermore, over 1 million songs have been purchased at the iTunes Music (presumably by both Mac and PC users) store over the same time. In comparison, the iTunes Music Store sold one million songs over 7 days during its initial launch on the Mac in April.
Steve Jobs revealed at last week's Music Event that Mac users alone were purchasing music at a rate of 600,000 songs a week.

Being new to the windows world :-) is 1M downloads a good rate?
Now Steve just get the European store running and I can contribute to the purchased figures.
That can't be right. I have been reading everywhere that iTunes for Windows sucks, is slow, doesn't do this and that...
[/Sarcasm] :D
Is anyone else putting out their stats?

This may be true since I downloaded a copy to try on my (mainly Linux) PC. However its still more songs in this time period than on the original Mac version launch.

Good point, I am one of the 1M with Mac and PC. However I now showoff - nicely instead of just talking about ITunes at work, and the unconverted are impressed.

the press release specifies Windows iTunes software downloads, and then generic store downloads (thus Mac/PC).
