Apple said yesterday that its iTunes Music Store has seized 80 percent of the UK’s digital music market. The company cited figures from the Official Charts Company (OCC) and declared iTunes to be the number one UK digital music service. Apple said the UK store has over 1.7 million tracks available.
“We’re thrilled that music fans in the UK have made the iTunes Music Store their number one choice for purchasing digital music,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s vice president of iTunes. “We feature the largest catalogue in the UK with over 1.7 million songs and strive to bring iTunes customers the hottest new and exclusive content in the world.”
