Alex Ostrovsky is one lucky teen.

Sometime on Tuesday night, the 16-year-old West Bloomfield native downloaded the one billionth song ^[1]for sale on iTunes, the successful music-download service created by Steve Jobs et al. Ostrovsky didn’t know it at the time, but he was about to find out that his 99 cents would include a lot more than Coldplay’s Speed of Sound.

The teen received national media attention and a host of prizes — a 20 inch iMac, ten 60GB i-pods and a $10,000 iTunes gift card.

Apple also plans to establish a scholarship in Ostrovsky’s name at the Juillard School of Music in New York.
