Steve Jobs is out there saying that iTunes is a success, but if you take away the freebies from the Pepsi promotion, it looks pretty anemic to me.

It isn't just Steve Jobs. Fortune, Infoworld, The Wallstreet Journal, Time are saying it, too.

iTunes Music Store has sold 70 million songs the past year. The Pepsi promotion counted for just over a million of those.

All competing online stores combined have sold about 5 million songs in the past six months.

I stand corrected. I guess I was just thinking about an older news article.

I suppose anybody with enough money to burn on a $300 iPod with a non-replaceable battery that goes out in a year or two, has enough money to re-buy their entire music collection every couple of years, also.
