iTunes Rewind declares best selling iTunes content of 2009
Apple has just unveiled iTunes Rewind 2009, a feature on the iTunes Store that lists all of the year’s best selling content, across music, video and apps. For some, the feature will be confirmation of the intractable cretinism of that mouth-breathing biomass, mankind. For others, it will be a handy primer on popular media they might have missed this year. Let’s dive in!
In Music, the top selling single of 2009 was “Boom Boom Pow” by the Black Eyed Peas (the video of which ironically and prominently features a decidedly non-Apple machine, in the HP Touchsmart), followed by Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” (a song which prominently features a lyric — “bluffin’ with my muffin” — quite clearly paraphrased from the poetry of Emily Dickinson). Meanwhile, the Kings of Leon’s “Only By The Night” got the nod for best-selling album of the year, with Lilly Allen’s “It’s Not Me, It’s You” and Lady GaGa’s “The Fame” being the second and third best selling albums, respectively.
