New York - Digital music service eMusic, the second-largest online music seller after iTunes, announced on Wednesday that it has now sold over 100 million digital song downloads.

The company launched its current subscription model three years ago, and passed the 50 million download mark about a year ago. To commemorate the milestone, eMusic commissioned the pop group Barenaked Ladies to write and record a song about the 100 millionth downloader, Michael Brennan of Moorsetown, New Jersey.

The New York-based company sells a catalog of over 2 million tracks of mainly independent music in the unprotected MP3 format, and claims more than 220,000 subscribers.
