Story: Apple notches up 50 million iTunes sales
It's only March 15, 2004, how can you report on Apple missing a goal set for the end of April 2004. Shoddy reporting. Yes it's true that without the Pepsi purchased tunes, iTMS is on track to sell around 70 million songs. But Apple's estimates for 100 million, based on Steve Jobs presentation was to include songs redeemed during the Pepsi promotion. This means that only 30-35 million of the arranged 100 million winners would need to redeem songs for Apple to reach its stated goals.
