German music fan Phillip Lupke has been awarded a 10,000 Euro iTunes gift card after purchasing the 25th billion song downloaded through the popular online music store. The 22-year-old student purchased the techno song ‘Monkey Drums (Goksel Vancin Remix)’ by British DJ Chase Butch earlier in the week, and was very surprised to hear about his contribution to this iTunes milestone.
‘I woke up this morning and had an email from Apple saying I had the 25 billionth download,’ he told Reuters. ‘In fact, I didn’t quite believe it at first. It’s a new feeling for me.’
