100 million iTunes downloads in Europe

Some people have all the luck. Ken Reist from Steenokkerzeel, Belgium was going for his classical fix yesterday, downloading the album Die Zauberflote (The Magic Flute) by Mozart, when he hit the jackpot. Ken's was the 100 millionth iTunes download in Europe. For his trouble, Ken got himself a 17 inch iMac G5, a 30GB 5G iPod, a 10,000 song Gift Card for iTMS, and two tickets to a Robbie Williams concert.

The iTunes Music Store,  launched in Europe just 18 months ago, is the number one music site in Europe.
