Hot singles on iTunes will begin to cost you $.30 more beginning April 7 according to the Los Angeles Times.
The variable pricing structure go date hasn't officially been disclosed by Apple, but industry executives have been notified by Apple of the date according to the newspaper. Apple resisted variable pricing for years and finally relented in order to get labels to agree to removing DRM from songs.
Beginning April 7, iTunes customers can purchase songs for $.69, $.99 and $1.29. Apple is expected to keep a majority of it's music library at $.99.
If your favorite artist released a song for $1.29 would you purchase it from iTunes, or find another digital music service to purchase it from? Drop your answer in the comments.

If anyone's gonna buy a song by an artist they'll pay 99 cents. I can't believe Apple is going to allow music to be purchased (which is more shared today than purchased) for as little as 30 cents. Who's there to support the artists of today that have to contend with so much file sharing they can't make any income. Then, iTunes is gonna take some of that 30 cents - leaving the artist like 20 cents or something. Doesn't anyone care about the indie artist anymore?

An extra 30 cents for no DRM and 256 I consider a bargain. The fact that I can purchase single songs, with good quality is a plus for me. Very few times do I find any discs worth owning the entire thing. I buy from the artists source, such as their website when possible. Bottom line, I love iTunes and support it 150%.

buying a from iTunes as much. $11.99 for a 256 kpbs download? Please. $1.29 for one song? Forget it. If this really was a ploy on the part of the labels to displace Apple as a major outlet, in my case, they've succeeded. It's a shame. All I really care about is compensating people for their music, and more and more I buy it directly from them, if possible. It's a way to legally cut the labels out altogether.
