iTunes, the most popular online music store, began selling about 2,000 music videos and episodes of ABC’s "Desperate Housewives" and "Lost" for $1.99 (1.12 pounds) on October 12.
The debut coincided with the launch of a new generation of Apple’s iPod digital music player that can play video on its 2.5-inch color screen.
Technology, media and Wall Street analysts are eyeing Apple’s performance for validation that a market for legal downloading of videos exists.
Topping the list of big sellers were music videos by Michael Jackson, Fatboy Slim and Kanye West, as well as episodes of ABC shows.
"Selling one million videos in less than 20 days strongly suggests there is a market for legal downloads," Steve Jobs, Apple CEO, said in a statement. "Our next challenge is to broaden our content offerings."
