iTunes #1 music store.

Apple continues to be a ever important presence in the music world, first with the iPod, then iTunes and recently the iPhone, but today something special has happened, today Apple might have become the most prominent music vendor in America. Today Ars technica claims to have intercepted an internal email sent to a few Apple employees, The email congratulates the employees on making the store number one. The email also included a "excel" (not numbers) document which showed Apple passing Wal-Mart and becoming the number one music retailer in America: The iTunes Store leads the pack with 19 percent, Wal-Mart (which includes the brick-and-mortar stores as well as its online properties) is second with 15 percent, and Best Buy is third with 13 percent. If this information is confirmed to be true then apple is most likely the most influential retailer in music.
