The Top Selling Digital Song Is...(sadly) by Journey

[meegbear]

Don't Stop Believin', the Journey power ballad, has become the first catalog track ever to sell more than 2 million downloads according to SoundScan. First made available through the iTunes on April 28, 2003, "Don't Stop Believin'" has become the top-selling catalog track in iTunes history and the sole catalog track to go double platinum.

Why Don't Stop Believin'?

The song is perennial favorite with producers and directors of both movies and television. 2005 was a good year for Don't Stop Believin' when it was featured in "Monster," starring Charlize Theron, made its way onto iTunes' Top 10 Singles in 2005 following same-week appearances on Fox's "Family Guy" and MTV's "Laguna Beach." and became the unofficial theme song for the 2005 World Champion Chicago White Sox. It also enjoyed a huge resurgence in June of 2007 as the music for the climactic finale of "The Sopranos."

2. Nearly half of American voters, voted twice for Bush.

Many of these same people then voted for McPalin.

Note the trend?
