1. Walmart (15.8%)
2. Best Buy (13.8%)
3. Apple iTunes (9.8%)
4. Amazon.com (6.7%)

Impressive! :)
Does anyone know how this particular ranking works? Is it based on dollar revenue, number of song/album equivalent sales, or number of transactions?

Good news, but now start pushing the CRTC so we can have TV shows and movies in Canada too. ;-)
With a lower-cost rental option for both, too. I don't want to rent music just like I don't want to buy most TV shows.

The #1 spot is a long ways away, I guess it would take closer to 2 or 3 years before iTunes could take that.
However, with the release of the iPhone the #2 spot will be interesting.

Congratulations, Apple! I hope that this adds some clout to Apple's efforts to have all labels selling DRM-free music.

Those figures are very impressive. And it's great to be #3, but what is the real headline here is While Walmart and Best Buy are 1 and 2, their sales are stagnant, and Apple's are growing at a brisk pace.
This means that iTunes is destine to become the #1 most music seller. It's simple, Apple growing, others stagnant or loosing ground.
Go Apple Go!
