Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced at the MacWorld in San Francisco that 50 million television episodes have been sold in the iTunes Store, as well as 1.3 million movies and over 2 billion songs. Also, Paramount will join the store as a supplier of movies.
“iTunes has crossed another major milestone by selling over two billion songs—with over a billion of them sold in the last year alone—making it by far the world’s most popular music store,” said Jobs. “And by selling 50 million TV shows and over 1.3 million movies to date, iTunes is already the largest online video store in the world as well.”
iTunes today added more than 100 movies from Paramount Pictures. Priced at $9.99, the titles include “School of Rock”, “The Italian Job”, “Mean Girls”, “Zoolander”, “Coach Carter”, “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events”, “Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life”, “Chinatown” and “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”.
