Launched on April 28, 2003, the iTunes Music Store transformed the music industry by selling over 3 billion songs within a few years, capturing more than 80% of global online music sales. Its user-friendly interface allowed for rapid sales, with 275,000 downloads in the first 18 hours and 1 million in just five days. While it faced challenges like limited song availability and no physical product, its monopoly in digital entertainment, opportunities for co-branding, and customization features made it a formidable force. However, threats from competition and illegal downloading loomed large.
