Along with all the other introductions from this morning’s keynote, the iTunes Music Store got a lot of new goodies. Somewhere around 1000 more albums have been added to the classical genre (iTMS link), they’re listing the top 100 downloaded tracks (iTMS link) of 2003, and — most interesting to me of all of these — they’ve partnered with Billboard to present the top 100 songs of 1946-2003 (iTMS link)!
Out of curiosity, I looked up the Billboard Top 100 for 1991, the year I graduated High School…
All of the following links are iTMS links, which require iTunes to be installed on your computer. Bolded items I actually have in my music collection. Apparently they don’t have all of the top 100, as there are only 68 songs listed here — I wonder who they’re missing?
