The Season 2 premiere of MTV’s "Jersey Shore" attracted 5.3 million viewers, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
That’s up almost 300% from the opener for last season, and 10% higher than Season 1’s big finale, the story says.
The show’s Season 2 premiere was MTV’s highest-rated season premiere in more than seven years, since the Season 2 launch of "The Osbournes," the article adds.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
