Posted: 25 Feb 2010 08:25 AM PST

Reports say that Apple’s iTunes store has sold its 10 billionth song on Wednesday (Feb. 24), thanks to massive sales of tracks by Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga and Coldplay.

Apple revealed that Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling” is iTunes’ all-time most-downloaded song, with “Boom Boom Pow” coming in at No. 3. Lady Gaga is the solo artist with the most songs in the top 25, with “Poker Face” (No. 2), “Just Dance” (No. 6) and “Bad Romance” (No. 22) all making the list. Other acts with tracks in the top 10 include Jason Mraz, Coldplay, Flo Rida, Taylor Swift, Leona Lewis and Ke$ha.

All of the top 25 tracks were released in the past five years (Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok” is the newest) except for “Don’t Stop Believin’” by classic rockers Journey, whose inclusion in popular TV shows “The Sopranos” and “Glee” helped the song reach No. 21 on the list.

But perhaps the real winner might be the person who actually bought the 10 billionth track — they will recieve a $10,000 iTunes gift card.Nows’ that’s awesome.Lucky him.
