iTunes Passes Best Buy, Now #2 Music Retailer in U.S.

Last June, iTunes passed Amazon.com to become the #3 music retailer. Eight months later, it's passed Best Buy and is now #2, trailing only Wal-Mart.

The numbers are - well, pretty amazing. Apple says there are now 50 million iTunes Store customers, with a total of over four billion songs sold - and according to Apple, with an incredible 20 million songs sold on Christmas Day 2007 alone (wasn't anyone opening presents rather than buying more?).
