Apple’s surprise free U2 album giveaway in iTunes has topped two million free copies, according to what sources tell Re/code:
iTunes users have downloaded more than 2 million copies of “Songs of Innocence” since Tuesday, according to people familiar with the album’s performance. The album is available exclusively on iTunes until the middle of October.
The album Songs of Innocence is set to debut in October, but the deal with Apple reportedly saw the latter reportedly spend $100 million to use the band’s songs for upcoming promotional purposes of the iPhone 6.
Today, in an interview with Billboard, U2’s manager Guy Oseary says the band will be working more with Apple in future projects.
