Angry Birds just keeps selling.

Since its launch in 2009, everyone’s favourite bird-based casual physics puzzler has now scored 10 million paid App Store downloads.

Technically, that’s enough copies to give one each to every single inhabitant of Belgium.

And that’s just paid downloads. The number of downloads, paid and unpaid, across all platforms is now over 30 million.

That beats Michael Jackson’s Bad, and Pink Floyd’s The Wall.

With the Halloween edition already scoring its first million, the phenomenon shows no sign of slowing.

Angry Birds is available on the App Store now, priced £0.59/ $0.99/ €0.79.
