MySpace Music Appears To Be A Hit, Increases Traffic Tenfold Year-Over-Year

I’m going to go ahead and say it again - MySpace still matters.  No, none of us use it as a ‘place for friends’ anymore.  Heck, I haven’t checked my personal account in months.  But when it comes to music, especially indie music, they are undoubtably still the 800lb gorilla.

I truly enjoy browsing bands, connecting from one cool obscure band to the other via their ‘top friends’.  I buy their records.  I promote them on my blog.  I grab their cool band photos.  But most of all, I listen to their music.  If a band friends me up on the MySpaces, I just about always do them the courtesy of listening to at least one of their tracks.  It’s fun!  Sure, 80% of these ‘bands’ are just bedroom recording projects with no intention of touring or ‘going big’, but that matters little.  It’s about the music.  Sharing it.  Making it.  Distributing it globally with zero cost.  And that’s what’s important.
