Number three for all types of music... That's impressive.
"Billions and billions served..."
Kaspar,
With regard to the 3 billion number, does one audiobook for $15-$45 , one TV show for ~$2+ or one movie for $10+ count the same as one 99 cent song? Also, do you know what the profit margins are for audiobooks, TV shows and movies?
Thanks.

I think it's just songs, as the article stated. That doesn't include TV shows or movies. I'm not sure if it includes audiobooks and music videos, but they are definitely counting units, not dollars.
Nope. The 3b is just the music. It does not include audio books, movies, tv shows and music videos.
