    According to some automated logs I've been keeping of the contest the winning person won between Mon, 12 Jul 2004 05:19:29 GMT and 05:24:53 GMT.

    The number of songs sold at the first time was 99992422.
    The number of songs sold at the second time was 100014607.

    Apple sold a total of 22185 songs in that five minute 24 second period. For those wondering that's roughly 68.5 songs per second.

    Congrats to whoever it was.
