iTunes Furthers European Expansion

In conjunction with a new release of iTunes and music video downloads, Apple has expanded its online music store to four additional European countries. Consumers in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland now have access to iTunes' 1.5 million songs priced at 99-cents apiece.

The new European stores will feature exclusives from Kent, Stereophonics and The Cardigans. In Switzerland, UBS will offer every Swiss citizen a free song on iTunes through a promotion in its branches. iTunes is now available in 19 countries and holds over 70 percent of the global digital music market. 400 million songs have been purchased worldwide since its inception.
