iTunes: May 2007 Archives
Maroon 5 broke an iTunes record by selling more than 101,000 digital copies of new album "It Won't Be Soon Before Long" on the Apple music service during its first week of release, with many lured to pre-order the album before its May 22 release date by the promise of two extra tracks and the ability to get ahead in the virtual Ticketmaster line for concert tickets.
There were 50,000 preorders of the 13-track album, ArsTechnica reported.
Add to that 243,500 digital sales of the single "Makes Me Wonder" from iTunes and other download sites.
It almost brings the glamour back to the music business.
