New Countries Added to iTunes
Today I've noticed that many new countries have been added to the iTunes store. Countries including:
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Columbia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Czech Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Korea, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Panama, Peru, Phillepines, Poland, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Venezuela, and Vietnam.
These countries are yet to have added music to their stores, but free games are available.

In an unusual half-expansion of the iTunes Store, Apple today added over 40 countries to the iTunes Store’s pull-down list of international stores, yet directed their users to English-language versions of the App Store rather than localized stores with traditional iTunes content. Many of the countries, including China, Korea, Lebanon, Russia, and Vietnam, notably lack significant English-speaking populations.
A brief skim of the App Store pages for these countries suggests that they are still in the process of being built, and may well be localized only as the iPhone and iPod touch expand in popularity overseas. The limited versions of the App Store sometimes lack for “Top Apps” and other featured content sidebars, while the absence of traditional iTunes Stores apparently reflects a lack of purchasable music, video, and other non-interactive downloadable content in those countries.
The complete list of new iTunes App Store countries is:
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Czech Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Korea, Kuwait, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Venezuela, and Vietnam.

Eh. It's not like I would've purchased music anyway.  I just thought it would be interesting to see actual charts of purchased music in these countries.

I hope Mexico gets its own iTunes. I'd buy the songs I love. I love supporting my artists, and from the internet it would be a lot easier.

Yeah, that was why I was excited. I love South Africa's radio chart, and the Hot100Brasil, so for them hopefully to maybe have a chart for downloads would be great! Also the Phillepines would be great, but Korea and Vietnam do they have radio charts or anything ?

Can't believe Mexicans are actually buying. Mexico has a Top 28 (at buying applications) while other countries like Venezuela, China, Argentina just have a Top 1-5.
