You can’t get JSON from another domain. You need to get JSONP. The following works:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $.ajax({
        url: "http://itunes.apple.com/search?term=jack+johnson",
        dataType: 'JSONP'
    })
    .done(function(data) { console.log(data); })
    .fail(function(data) { console.log(data); })
 });
