The 100 millionth song downloaded was Somersault (Dangermouse remix) by Zero 7, and it was downloaded by Kevin Britten from Hayes, KS. As a reward he will receive a 17-inch Apple PowerBook, 40GB iPod and 10,000 iTunes songs.

Apple also gave away 50 20GB iPods for every 100,000th song downloaded between 95 million and 100 million.
