Five years ago today, Google launched the Play Store, a new home for buying apps on Android. Along with apps, it also sells books, movies, and TV shows, and has become one of the most popular places for obtaining content on the web today.
In the past five years, Google Play has launched in 190 countries with over a billion active users, and now houses millions of apps, over 40 millions songs, and over 5 million books. It has also expanded to new platforms, such as Chromebooks, Android Wear, and even Google Daydream VR.
Now, Google is taking a look back at the most successful products sold on the Play Store since its launch, and it’s basically what you would expect. The lists below pull information from the US market exclusively.
