The Billboard Daily Bulletin notes the apparent "overwhelming" success of the iTunes Music Store: "Observers are calling the launch of Apple Computer's digital music service the iTunes Music Store an overwhelming success. The service, which went live Monday, sold an estimated 275,000 tracks at 99 cents apiece in its first 18 hours, according to major-label sources. The feat is especially remarkable when considering that the offering is available only to the limited universe of users of Apple computers." The article also notes that Apple has secured wholesale agreements with two major labels for the Windows version of the service, which is expected by the end of the year.

That's not much, is it?
One real test will be how many iPods they sell in the coming week(s)... I'm sure they make a good profit on iPods.
