iTunes Rewind shows off best-selling content of 2009
The apps category is particularly interesting.The top 5 best-selling games of 2009 are dominated by Electronic Arts.Four out of the five top games are made by EA, including The Sims 3 in the No. 1 spot, followed by Need for Speed Undercover, Madden 10, and Tiger Woods in the Nos. 3, 4, and 5 spots.Gameloft's The Oregon Trail breaks up the EA love fest by sneaking in at No. 2.As far as other apps go, Navigon's Mobile Navigator grabs the top spot in best-sellers, followed by MLB.com At Bat, Textfree Unlimited, TomTom, Golfshot: Golf GPS, and SlingPlayer Mobile.Unfortunately iTunes doesn't give a combined list, so we don't know what app is really at the top of the pile.Although the iTunes list is probably not representative of the most popular movies of 2009, due to its limited catalog available for viewing, we'll take a look at it nonetheless.It should be no surprise that punching in at No. 1 for most sales and rentals is "Twilight."Rounding out the top three, we have the stoner comedy/action movie "Pineapple Express" and Bond flick "Quantum of Solace."iTunes also lists "Up," "Star Trek," "The Hangover," and "Adventureland" as some of the best movies of 2009.Finally, we have the TV shows category.Yes, iTunes did make some TV episode sales in 2009, despite the existence of alternatives like DVRs, Hulu, and Netflix.The top-selling seasons were "Mad Men" (season 3), "Lost" (season 5), and "24" (season 7)."Family Guy" claims the best-selling episode with "Stew-Roids," followed by "Gossip Girl" with "In the Realm of the Basses," and "Lost" with"Because You Left."2009 was a good year for content on iTunes.What were some of your favorites in music, movies, TV, and iPhone apps from last year (on iTunes or otherwise)?Let us know in the comments.
