iTunes has grown into one of the largest and most popular places to buy music anywhere. With a collection of over 8 million different songs, it’s a audiophile’s dream. Today, Apple released news that they had officially sold the 5 billionth song through iTunes!

Even more interesting is the figure released today about Apple renting and selling 50,000 movies every day. Therefore, the iTunes store is also the most popular online movie store too.

It would be an interesting figure to realize: 50,000 (rentals/purchases per day) x $3.99 (avg. new release rental) x 365 (days per year) = $72,817,500 million in movie related revenue — low estimate as it doesn’t figure movie purchases at around $10.
