    quote from ilounge:

    "As it has in past “countdown” promotions, the company is using a counter graphic on both its countdown webpage and iTunes store graphics, although these have normally been approximations, and not real-time download numbers."

    if you are making estimations from the countdown clock, its best to assume slightly more downloads have made than the clock suggests, therefore bringing your estimation time forward ;)

    There will be some problems when this gets close to the target...the servers will be roasting under the mass of entries. The clock may be seriously behind if that's the case....these things happen with most comps don't they?

    Hi, it says -
    Help iTunes reach 10 billion song downloads, and you could win a $10,000 iTunes Gift Card.
    So I think this would mean anyone who registered to help reach the 10 billion could win? OP says you don't have to buy songs either.

    The T/C are clear I think

    Sweepstakes. Sponsor is the sole judging organization whose decisions as to the operation of the Sweepstakes and the selection of the potential winner are final and binding in all matters related to the Promotion. The prize will be awarded for the entry (either through a song download or through the non-purchase online entry) sent immediately following the download of the 9,999,999,999th song. The potential winner will be determined by the order of the entries received. In the event that more than one entrant would be a winner based on the simultaneous timing of entries, one entrant will be randomly selected from those entrants as the winner. Each entrant’s chances of winning are dependent upon the number of eligible entries received.

    BUT that last part is nonsense because the number of entries has nothing to do with the chances of winning if only that one entry timed well is the winner?
