Apple said that its European iTunes Music Store had sold over 800,000 songs in the first week of launch, more than half of which (450,000) were downloaded in the UK.
Apple also drew a comparison with OD2, which yesterday announced its acquisition by US digital music company Loudeye, claiming that the UK weekly sales total of 450,000 was 16 times more than OD2 shipped: over 28,100 songs.
