On the heels of Roxio Inc.'s news that its recently relaunched Napster 2.0 commercial music download service sold 300,000 songs during its first full week of operation, Apple offered up news of its own: The iTunes Music Store sold 1.5 million songs during the same period, five times more than Napster. What's more, Apple also said that market research firm Nielsen SoundScan registers the iTunes Music Store as having more than 80 percent of the legal download market last week.
