The iTunes Music Store is holding a contest for a $10,000 gift card for the lucky person who buys the ten billionth song. On the surface, that staggering number seems nearly impossible and exaggerated, but when I looked at my iTunes purchases folder it became much more realistic. It was a bit unsettling to see just how much music I’ve bought over the years, but I’m glad I had a legal and practical way to buy it all.
Have you ever wondered about your purchase history on the iTunes store? If you log in to the store in iTunes you can find your purchase history right on your account summary. If you’re already logged in, you can access the account summary by clicking on your e-mail address on the top-right corner of the iTunes window. Looking back to the beginning, I just noticed the store is now over seven years old!
