iTMS Moving Up The Sales Charts 185
Kyusaku Natsume writes "According to the NPD Group, Apple's iTunes Music Store has sold more music than Tower Records and Borders in the U.S., based on sales and download figures for July, August, and September." From the article: "At seventh equal in the chart was iTunes, up seven places on the same period last year. Both Tower Records and Borders slipped a place to seven and nine respectively. Russ Crupnick, music and movies industry analyst for NPD, said he would not be surprised if iTunes was to continue to climb the charts, especially in the run-up to Christmas when iPods are high on many present lists."

ITMS song cost: 99
I want to know the secret of turning 99 cents into 101 cents -- with iAlchemey like that, and if the conversion rate was quick enough, I could accumulate some extra spending money quite rapidly!
