If you felt the need to do a double take at the headline, go right ahead. It’s true. Social networking site MySpace had cracked back into the top 50 websites for the first time in a very long time.
MySpace hasn’t been the same since Tom and his crew left it after the Fox merger. Embattled Fox Interactive then sold Myspace to a consortium led by singer/actor Justin Timberlake who has served as the face for Myspace since that deal. Timberlake was even at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January talking to anyone who would listen about how Myspace was changing.
MySpace has become focused primarily on music. The teeny boppers have moved over to Facebook and now Myspace focuses on Music. Their home page touts the fact that they have 8 million albums that you can listen to while you’re hanging out.
MySpace was able to rack up 25.4 million unique visitors last month which was good enough for 42nd place. They’ll take that! MySpace ranked 50th in January with 25.1 million uniques. MySpace was able to beat out IRS.gov during the mad rush of tax season, and everyone’s favorite store, Target.
