MySpace connects artists with fans, and this international programme will allow millions of users around the world to see unique performances by some of the greatest acts on the planet, said Jamie Kantrowitz, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Content, Europe, for MySpace. MySpace has become the destination on the Internet where people go to discover great music, from exclusive plays of new tunes, to unsigned artists to never-before-seen performances.
The Internet has been a huge part of taking artists global in a very short span of time, and The List takes MySpace Music a step further.
MySpace is already the most popular social networking site in the UK with more than 4m unique visitors per month, according to the latest comScore Media Metrix data.
At the end of August it launched its Secret Shows service in the UK, offering MySpace users the chance to see exclusive secret gigs.
Its first UK gig was for Primal Scream and its second, this week, was for The Magic Numbers.
