Along with all the other introductions from this morning’s keynote<\/a>, the iTunes Music Store<\/a> got a lot of new goodies. Somewhere around 1000 more albums have been added to the classical genre (iTMS link)<\/a>, they’re listing the top 100 downloaded tracks (iTMS link)<\/a> 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)<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Out of curiosity, I looked up the Billboard Top 100 for 1991, the year I graduated High School…<\/p>\n

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<\/em> of the top 100, as there are only 68 songs listed here — I wonder who they’re missing?<\/p>\n
