Journey song most downloaded catalogue track

Sales exceed two million

Journey have become the band with the "biggest ever catalogue song on digital platforms".

It means that the band's track 'Don't Stop Believin'' is the first song that was available in the pre-digital era to sell more than two million through iTunes.

According to the Theguardian.co.uk, part of the track's popularity is to do with it soundtracking the finale of TV hit drama 'The Sopranos' last year.

The song was originally released in 1981, then made available through iTunes in April 2003.

I think putting this down to TV is ridiculous - the song is way more ubiquitous than that. Over here, it soundtracks sporting events, political rallies, and crops up on in-store radio with alarming frequency.Half of America is stuck in the '80s, the other half thinks it's being ironic by referencing this and Rick Astley.
