2 billion free iTunes tracks for European Coke drinkers

Coke musicCoca-Cola and Apple are partnering to give away 2 billion (yes, that's with a "b") iTunes music downloads between May and August. Coca-Cola will pick up most of the bill for all of the tracks users download.

The promotion will be available in 17 European countries, and will be launched at the Cannes Film festival.

It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.
