Never Bet Against Justin Timberlake: Revamped Myspace Is Growing

Former social media titan MySpace may soon be added to the list of things Justin Timberlake has brought back. The revamped site is reporting some serious growth.

Via Hypebot:

MySpace is reporting some cautious optimism following their relaunch in June. The company says that their audience grew from 24 million prior to launch to 31 million in its first two weeks and now sees 36 million people a day visit the website. 

...

The company has gone through a series of efforts to rebrand themselves, shifting their focus to providing a home for music and band home pages, though previous efforts to recast the service have not met with much apparent success.

This time around though, it might be different. The company is reporting that the number of artists on MySpace has increased 340% since the relaunch, fuelled in part by artists including Pharrell Williams, El-P and Killer Mike (aka Run The Jewels), Riff Raff, and CHARLI XCX.

Expect numbers to grow as the site churns out more exclusive music content like early album streams of Pusha T's My Name Is My Name.

What do you think? Is it time to give the former home of bulletins and Top 8's a second chance?
