Since last February, Apple has constantly proclaimed itself the number 2 music retailer, second only to retail giant Wal-Mart. Apple had long trailed Best Buy for the third spot, and the February announcement that it had passed Best Buy took on a celebratory note. Such a position was certainly respectable stated observers, and thanks no doubt, to Apple's rejuvenated iPod sales from its refreshed line.

However, something strange happened when a memo from the NPD group music survey was intercepted by Ars Technica. The memo read that Apple was really number 1, having passed Wal-Mart and Best Buy. So which was it? Apple, well known for its sardonic "Mac and PC guy" ads, certainly did not seem the type of company to purposefully miss a chance to toot its own horn, so to speak.

Well it appears some confusion overtook Apple, as it released a statement saying that it was actually number 1 in January and February, contradicting its own previous report.
