Amazon.com just launched its new digital music download store (there was a big story on NPR about it yesterday), and wouldn’t you know that The Apples in Stereo have leaped to #1 as the top downloaded artist.  The reason has everything to do with the fact that the Apples’ song “Energy” is being made an exclusive free MP3 with the Amazon MP3 downloading application, required to download songs from the site.  So take the stats with a grain of salt, but they are now listed as the #1 artist at the Amazon downloads page, and that’s pretty nifty.  You can view the Apples in Stereo store at Amazon here.
