Apple’s One Billion Song countdown quickly ended with a winner today.

Apple’s Website:

1 billion songs have been legally downloaded from the iTunes Music Store. Music lovers like you in 21 countries around the globe have purchased one billion songs from the iTunes Music Store. And for helping us reach this massive milestone in digital music history, we’d like to thank you.

The contest grand prize finalist was Alex Ostrovsky from West Bloomfield, Michigan, who downloaded Speed of Sound by Coldplay. He will receive a 20-inch iMac, 10 60GB iPods (5 white, 5 black) and a $10,000 iTunes Music Card. Also, Apple will establish a scholarship to the world-renowned Juilliard School in his name to commemorate this historic milestone.
