Apple’s online iTunes Store has surpassed Wal-Mart Stores as the leading U.S. music retailer based on January and February sales, research firm NPD Group says.
I beg to differ: iTunes is the leading music retailer in the whole wide world.
Among retailers online AND offline.
“We launched iTunes less than five years ago, and it has now become the number one music retailer in the world,” says Eddy Cue, vice president of iTunes.
To date, iTunes has sold more than 4 billion songs to more than 50 million customers.

Breaking: the Apple iPhone European launch was confirmed this morning.
Apple will enter only 3 test markets, again with an exclusive deal strategy:
- the UK: seems to be 0²
- Germany: to be announced
- France: Orange is confirmed
To say the least, this is terrible news for Vodafone, who hoped to get the exclusive distribution and service for Europe.
Mobile services companies in Europe are already bracing themselves to offer loads of apps and services as soon as the baby hits the market.
More to come later today...
