iTunes 1 Billion Song Contest

[devilot]

What would happen if the billionth song was purchased by someone who used the free alternative entry? That would probably be a bummer for Apple.

Not really, I'm sure they've generated a bundle with all the buzz.

I would like to thank all the little people who made my grand prize win possible. I deserved it.

Well, I'm sure this is going to be on the Thursday night news. It would be very ironic if they said that the 1 billionth song purchased didn't win the 1 billionth song contest.

Anyway, I hope that someone on this fora won something.

Sorry, folks. I got dibs...

...at least, on the post claiming I won.

I think my phone is broken.

*picks up phone*

When is Steve going to call?

*picks up phone*

Is that the phone ringing?

etc.

 

[dejo]

P.S. If I did win, I hope it was with "Bring On The Dancing Horses" by Echo and the Bunnymen. That would be moderately appropriate to my feeling about winning.

[p0intblank]

I'll be giving a couple of them to the creator of The Billion Tunes Counter page.

 

[Oryan]

I've been watching the counter all day, but was away from the computer for the past hour. I came back and all I got was the new homepage. I wonder if they'll have a 10 Billion song contest.

I'll be giving a couple of them to the creator of The Billion Tunes Counter page.

Awww, can't send one my way??

 

[Jamvan]

My contribution

I'm personally responsible for 0.000002024% of those 1 BILLION downloaded songs!

I feel so insignificant...

It's crazy. There's literally 40 songs sold every second. How would you feel if you found out, hey, you were in a 40-way tie for the 1,000,000,000 song, and lost on the drawing. You were so close ...
