Song of the day for April 28, 2024
1 min read
Somewhere I belong by Linkin Park is today’s featured song.
On this day in 2003, US technology company Apple Inc. broke new ground in the music industry by launching the iTunes Store, the first legally authorized download platform for buying music. The store was established after the company reached an agreement with all five major record companies to market their catalogs. By February 2010, the iTunes Store was the largest music vendor in the world.
At the time it was only available only to Mac users, the store let US-based customers download the music they wanted for just 99 cents per song, without subscription fees. Apple also offered groundbreaking personal use rights, including burning songs onto an unlimited number of CDs for personal use and playing songs on up to three Macintosh computers.
The number 1 song on the alternative rock charts on this day was Linkin Park’s Somewhere I belong.
