Apple Announces '10 Billion Song Downloads' Contest

Apple is offering a $10,000 iTunes Gift Card for the first contest entry immediately following the download of the 9,999,999,999th song from iTunes.

iTunes changed the way you buy music, making songs and albums available for download, day or night. Seven years later, we're about to celebrate our biggest milestone for music, yet — 10 billion songs downloaded. Buy a song, and if it's the 10 billionth download, you could win a $10,000 iTunes Gift Card. It's our way of saying thanks.


Limit 25 entries per person per day. No purchase necessary. Must be 13+ and reside in the participating country. This contest ends after download of the 10 billionth song. To enter and play or read official rules, visit www.apple.com/itunes/10-billion-song-countdown/rules.html.

Currently the counter is at about 9.876 billion.
