Former Facebook Rival MySpace Touts Growth

MySpace’s focus on music is apparently paying off, as the social network said its total number of musical artists has skyrocketed by 340 percent since its relaunch, with big-name additions including Pharrell Williams, El-P and Killer Mike (aka Run The Jewels), Riff Raff, and CHARLI XCX.
