‘Tis the Season to make a list out of everything you can possibly think of – who’s been naughty, who’s been nice, the Best of This and The Worst of That.
Apple released its lists of the Top 10 Paid and Top 10 Free Apps on the iTunes AppStore Tuesday, and also broke down the top apps by category. If you visited the iTunes store since the AppStore launched in July, you’ve been able to get a running snapshot of the Top 10 overall lists, as they have been published on the AppStore’s front page since the launch.
After opening strong, Super Monkey Ball ended up 4th on the list of top paid app downloads, while Koi Pond quietly, like a zen warrior, took the top honors. Amazingly, enough people paid for iBeer to put it in the #10 spot.
Among the free downloads, two music apps, Pandora Radio and Shazam were in the top 5 (#1 and #4, respectively) and in only two months of availability, Google Earth managed to place #7.

Nice lists. I keep meaning to try Koi Pond – it seems to be one of those apps you’re either going to get bored of in 30 seconds, or love for life!
BTW I think the lists are country-specific. Here on the Australian Store, Pandora and iBeer aren’t in the lists (though iPint makes it into the free list). In fact I don’t think Pandora is available down under. Crash Bandicoot is the #1 paid app, with Facebook the #1 free app.
