Rich Jones
We live in a digital age of music and today Apple makes music available to users around the clock. Any time of night or day a user can download their favorite track from iTunes or even use the genius feature in order to find a new artist that they will enjoy. What makes iTunes unique is that it offers thousands of movies, albums and singles to users constantly. iTunes charges users $1 for a single and the download is made available through Apple iTunes within seconds. However, until recently Apple has kept the most popular tracks on iTunes a secret. As part of a promotion on their website Apple has revealed a list of their top 25 singles of all time. This is based on iTunes single sales and the list is as follows:

1) "I Gotta Feeling," Black Eyed Peas 2) "Poker Face," Lady Gaga 3) "Boom Boom Pow," Black Eyed Peas 4) "I'm Yours," Jason Mraz 5) "Viva la Vida," Coldplay 6) "Just Dance," Lady Gaga & Colby O'Donis 7) "Low," Flo Rida (featuring T-Pain) 8) "Love Story," Taylor Swift 9) "Bleeding Love," Leona Lewis 10) "TiK ToK," Ke$ha 11) "Disturbia," Rihanna 12) "So What," Pink 13) "I Kissed a Girl," Katy Perry 14) "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)," Beyoncé 15) "Hot N Cold," Katy Perry 16) "Stronger," Kanye West 17) "Live Your Life," T.I. (featuring Rihanna) 18) "Hey There Delilah," Plain White T's 19) "Right Round," Flo Rida 20) "Party in the U.S.A.," Miley Cyrus 21) "Don't Stop Believin'," Journey 22) "Bad Romance," Lady Gaga 23) "Use Somebody," Kings of Leon 24) "Fireflies," Owl City 25) "How to Save a Life," the Fray

You can see that Black Eyed Peas hold 2 of the most popular 25 songs ever downloaded via iTunes. This shows why the Black Eyed Peas have been so successful because their singles are driving album sales. Lady Gaga has 3 of 25 and this is amazing because she is a new act. Lady Gaga is also lucky that the singles included appear on her album Fame Monster. Katy Perry also holds 2 spots on the charts, which essentially shows a trend. Between Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Black Eyed Peas there are 7/25 of the most popular singles ever. These iTunes charges show that newcomers like Owl City have also been able to find a lot of success on iTunes. This is great for new artists and established acts like Black Eyed Peas.
