Thanks for the tip. I like Bruce Hornsby.
Sittin' here listenin' to my "Dr. Feelgood" download waiting for an email from apple. Sigh, who can sleep now?
Cool, the counters are still going beyond 100 mil

No. Each tell a friend counted as an entry, but not they didn't increment the counter. Only downloaded songs incremented it.JGowan said:
AFAIK, to win the grand prize on the tell-a-friend deal, your entry had to come in after the 99,999,999'th song was downloaded but before the 100,000,000'th one was.
URGGG!!!! I Missed it
I knew that the final 100,000,000 was going to be today. But I underestimated what time it would happen. I wanted to try and win, but I was with my girlfriend at the time... YES a geek with a girlfriend! Bask in my glory!

clear your cookie
This is because you have 'refreshed' Apple's main page too many times. This happened to me around 1:10 AM, about 15 minutes before the 100 million song was bought. I cleared my Apple cookies and the counter then showed 99,989,xxx.

Well, I'd never heard of Hey Mercedes, but I do remember a CD that a friend of mine once had called Blue Mercedes.
Anyone here who knows the late 80s remember this act?
Couple of Brits cranking out some terribly dated, horribly cheesy synth songs. Hmm.....sorry, that description covers a lot of acts from that era...
Thankfully, it is not available on iTMS (at least not the US store....yet).

If I was extremely lucky enough to be a winner I would stock my playlist with independent artists from the Chicagoland area. I do a local music radio show here every week and have been extremely excited to see a lot of the bands I've become friends with through the show find their music on the store (and get sold on the store), so it would definitely be that.
I hope it was 1:22 as the magic time
I was downloading several tracks at 10:22PST about ten of them downloaded and then I got this error message. I had to use the CHECK for PURCHASED MUSIC feature to get the rest at 10:29. I was downloading Cra ck Rear View by Hootie and Blowfish, got half the songs at 10:22.
HMMMMM....Please, please, please. I bet there were A LOT of ties and this goes to a drawing...how precise does the count go...hundreths of a second??

Excellent!
That would seem to be a very good use for a Celebrity Playlist.
Heck, Apple should tap more iPod/iTunes users more often with this sort of thing. Celebrities are fine but why not do a random "regular folk" feature?
