Remember back in July and August - when the pundits were predicting that iPod and iTunes were at the beginning of a down trend as Microsoft and others would begin to eat away at their market share? (today's pundits are decedents of those who told us we had better learn the metric system ... or else ...)
Apple continued to sell like crazy. I see that iTunes had a record amount of traffic last week and was reporting short sporadic outages. Good for them. I don't know why, but I root for Apple, iPod and Steve Jobs.
Even thought iTunes has almost all of the market share, there are a few other places to download songs. When you combine all of the data from iTunes, Walmart, Microsoft, etc ... the most downloaded songs of 2006 were:
5. Sean Paul, "Temperature"
4. Gnarls Barkley, "Crazy"
3. James Blunt, "You're Beautiful"
2. Nelly Furtado, "Promiscuous"
1. Daniel Powter, "Bad Day"
... Looks like a major blow to the 'too hip for the room' crowd ...
