Celebs Celebrate 100 Millionth iPod

by Joshua Fruhlinger on April 9, 2007 at 09:25 AM

No one doubts that the iPod rules the music market, but Apple had to go and gloat, A-list style, when it announced that the 100-millionth iPod had been sold. The joyous press release, out today, is laced with quotes from celebs like Mary J. Blige, Apple regular John Mayer, and cyclist/saint Lance Armstrong.

"It's hard to remember what I did before the iPod," said Mary J. Blige, GRAMMY Award-winning singer. "iPod is more than just a music player, it's an extension of your personality and a great way to take your favorite music with you everywhere you go." (In case you forgot, Mary, you recorded a few great albums before the iPod came out in 2001. Not that that matters, or anything. Nothing important happened before iPod.)

Apple is clear to note that this also makes the iPod the fastest selling MP3 player. In a press release from the company, Steve Jobs (Apple's CEO) thanks the millions of iPod users, stating, "At this historic milestone, we want to thank music lovers everywhere for making iPod such an incredible success. iPod has helped millions of people around the world rekindle their passion for music, and we're thrilled to be a part of that."
