As music downloads become more popular, companies are scrambling to cash in on the excitement. Wal-Mart and iTunes have been going toe-to-toe like a re-iteration of Ali vs. Frasier. Up until earlier this year, Wal-Mart had been the Ali, always staying ahead and claiming the #1 spot.

According to a NPD report, it looks as though this could be shifting. iTunes looks to be floating like a butterfly, as a report in January puts them atop the chart with a 19% stake in music sold. Wal-Mart followed in second place with 15%, and Best Buy in third with 13%. While this report only shows iTunes up in the month of January, they are predicting an outright change sometime in 08.
