The UK has now downloaded over 1 billion songs collectively, with Adele's Someone Like You taking the title of Most Legally Downloaded Song of All Time in the UK.

Great title, although it accounts only for the last ten years, and doesn't include any illegal download figures, physical purchases or music that's been streamed through YouTube, Spotify, Rdio or anywhere else.
