Music fans have bought more than a million songs since iTunes for Windows users was launched on Thursday.
iTunes offers people the chance to legally download songs from the internet for 60p (99 cents), but in the past had only been available to Apple computer users.
Apple also have another cause to celebrate. More than one million copies of its Windows version of iTunes music software have been downloaded in the last three days.
The program offers PC users the same service, prices and catalogue of songs, which Apple hopes to increase to around 400,000 by the end of October.
Since Apple's online music service opened its doors for business in April, a total of 14 million tracks have been purchased.
Apple's service is bidding to be the number one legal music download site in the world, as the music industry tries to clamp down on the millions of tracks shared without permission online.
The PC version of this service is only available to users with Windows XP and 2000 OS.
At the present time, both the Macs and Windows versions are only available in the United States. International versions of the online service are expected to be launched next year.
