Historical Context

Apple launched the iTunes Store on April 28 2003, offering legal song downloads and quickly reaching 70 million sales within a year and 35 billion songs by 2014, reshaping music economics. The platform’s global reach enabled artists like Ariana Grande to issue multi-format anniversary editions in 2026, combining vinyl, streaming and touring revenue.
