“Jon Healey and Charles Duhigg write for Los Angeles Times,‘The British pop band’s new album, ‘X&Y,’ topped the sales charts in the U.S. with nearly 740,000 copies sold in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Significantly, 62,000 of those copies, or 8% of the sales, were downloaded from online music stores…Most of those sales were at Apple Computer Inc.’s market-dominating iTunes Music Store, which had been accepting orders for the album for a month. The pre-orders — a first by Apple — included two bonus tracks not on the physical CD.’ [Jun 16, 2005]”
