Apple has sold more than more than 20 million songs in fewer than seven months through its iTunes song store and more than 45 percent of songs downloaded through iTunes had been sold as part of a full album, rather than in single song form, according to Apple's director of marketing Peter Lowe: "Additional research from the NPD Group indicated that iTunes customers bought more music than did ordinary offline consumers over the first four months of that service's operations. The average iTunes customer bought 49 songs online during that time, or the equivalent of about an album a month, compared with the average teenager’s purchase of a CD every two months."
