**MySpace** traffic has been in a death spiral for more than two years. At its peak, MySpace attracted **75.9 million** unique visitors each month, but that had slipped to **33 million** when the site was sold at fire sale prices last June. Slowly, however, that's changing according to MySpace's new owners Tim and Chris Vanderhook. who **offered stats** to support their turnaround claim.

MySpace's decline had continued under the new owners **falling to 24 million** unique users monthly. But according to new comScore data, traffic on MySpace rose for the first time in over a year during January to **25.1 million. That's up 4%** from December,

The new owners say that the upswing is happening because of new **integration with Facebook and Twitter**, and a **refocus on music** and entertainment including a new music player. MySpace offers a **42 million track music library** which includes major label music alongside many, often older, songs by indie artists that are not available on other services.

One major challenge for MySpace is **encouraging indie artists to become more active on MySpace again**; uploading new tracks and interacting with fans there. But for artists looking for exposure in a fractured media landscape, getting re-involved on MySpace may be worth the effort.

“**We went from zero signups per day to 40,000,**” said Chris Vanderhook, the company’s chief operating officer told the [New Tork Times](http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/12/myspace-to-announce-one-million-new-users/?ref=hypebot.com).
