From Radio and Internet Newsletter:
APPLE NOW NATION'S #2 MUSIC RETAILER: Only Wal-Mart sells more music than Apple's iTunes store now, according to a new NPD study. Apple says it's sold over four billion songs - 20 million on Christmas Day 2007 alone.
DJ-VLock's Commentary: Didn't take long for Apple to beat out every other music retailer but Wal-Mart. I would give iTunes another year and a half before it beats out Wal-Mart. The only way Wal-Mart could stave off this inevitability is if
a) they figure out how to under-sell Apple (good luck having cheap music produced in China)
b) the music industry teams up against Apple and makes them impossible to sell

iTunes will never surpass Wal-mart only because Wal-mart caters to mexican, latino, etc etc. People that don't spend their tax-free money on computers or iPods. Also, those people reproduce at a rate 3 times higher than typical Americans. Of course these statistics are made up; but gives you a general idea of what is actually happening.
