Apple has announced that iTunes is now the number two music retailer in the US, behind only Wal-Mart, based on the latest 2007 data from the NPD Group.

Apple also revealed that there are now over 50 million iTunes store customers.

iTunes has sold over four billion songs, and offers the world's largest music catalogue of over six million songs from all of the major and thousands of independent labels.

"We'd like to thank the over 50 million music lovers who have helped the iTunes Store reach this incredible milestone", said Eddy Cue, Apple's vice president of iTunes.

"We continue to add great new features like iTunes Movie Rentals to give our customers even more reason to love iTunes."
