Awesome!
Lets see MusicMatch or Napster offfer that kind of promotion. Of course, if they did, it would have to be for the like 25 millionth song sold instead of 100, unless they wanted people to wait a year! This and the "free song of the week" type promotions are what will keep ITMS on top for some time to come. I know I will probably be buying about 60 tracks that I have had in my shopping card for a while because of this promotion.
