At three million song sales each day, Apple seems set to reach its billion song target within the week.

To help generate sales, Apple is offering prizes: every person buying a 100,000th song gets a black 4GB iPod nano and a $100 iTunes Music Card.

The person who downloads the billionth song from the iTunes Music Store will receive a 20-inch iMac, a $10,000 iTunes Music Card, and ten 60GB iPods.

Apple will also launch a full scholarship in the winner's name at a world-renowned music school.
