Congratulations, Alex Ostrovsky!

The winner in the Apple iTunes Billion Songs download contest is Alex Ostrovsky with his 12:30 am (local time) purchase of Cold Play's "Speed of Sound" track. Hopefully, other school-age youth won't see this as justification for staying up late on a school night.

News of this feat is slow to hit the Web, it seems, and at the time of this post the best story is from Webpronews.com (click here).

After I learned of the contest I didn't download a greater number of tracks than usual and only twice did I try to time my purchases with the countdown window from iTunes. During that period I bought just 0.000000007 of the total numbe of songs Apple sold to the point of Alex's purchase (if I did my math right ... its been a while since I've been in high school).
