Take That Google: Beatles ITunes Sold By Facebook

Beatles mp3 sharing is as old as Napster, but paid versions of them only came online last month through iTunes. Searching for these digital ditties is as old as search engines, but more people found Beatle downloads via social media than other methods.

The day the Beatles content became available on iTunes, 26.32 percent of all traffic to Apple websites came from social networks. That compares to just 16.59 percent two days prior. These findings come from a brilliant analysis by British consultancy Experian Hitwise.
