The second point is important and change some of these numbers. I agree that my analysis of active is much better than uniques based on the information you have brought to my attention. One way you could account for the multiple genre issue is take a random sample of myspace band pages and check how many genres each band has. Then you can divide into the total. So if you find the average to be 2.3 genres per band, ( 22 million / 2.3 ) would give you uniques. If you want to be really accurate, then I agree you should take other genres into consideration. If you want to be REALLY accurate, you could probably write the script to parse profile ids from 0 to some really large number. I would guess that every time a MySpace user is added, the friendID increments by 1 so you may be able to cover most of the range by creating a MySpace account and looking at your friendID. Ideally, a newly created MySpace account would have one of the highest friendID's so you could use that as your upper limit. I cannot guarantee this will work without looking into it more, but that is my best guess right now. Since this was meant to be very ballpark, not so worried about the other genres.

Here's the count from today, adding up to ~21MM bands: Hip Hop 2,682,753 2682753 Rap 2,534,305 2534305 Rock 1,898,020 1898020 R&B 1,672,610 1672610 Other 1,130,460 1130460 Alternative 907,461 907461 Acoustic 788,026 788026 Experimental 642,357 642357 Pop 773,596 773596 Metal 645,195 645195 Indie 586,409 586409 Punk 487,151 487151 Hardcore 472,478 472478 Electronica 252,457 252457 Crunk 502,483 502483 Emo 252,457 252457 Techno 356,667 356667 Reggae 333,455 333455 Two-Step 336,664 336664 Electro 304,379 304379 DeathMetal 293,604 293604 Club 282,235 282235 Country 277,381 277381 Latin 270,929 270929 Reggaeton 264,176 264176 Jazz 239,784 239784 Classic Rock 153,111 153111 House 221,237 221237 Soul 221,145 221145 Funk 211,247 211247 Blues 204,349 204349 Folk 204,349 204349 Comedy 195,909 195909 TOTAL 20,598,839 Three problems I see with this count are that it doesn't include all genres (there's a bunch more listed if you click "Show More Genres"), many artists show up multiple times, and each artist can list up to three genres that they are a part of. If you go here: http://topartists.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=music.topBands and search for "2-step", you can see that there are multiple pages for Adam Lambert, and some of them list him as 2-step/2-step/2-step. I'm not sure whether each of these listings is counted in MySpace's "Top Genres" table (haven't had time to test this, perhaps by signing up as a new band myself). Do you or others have any thoughts on this stuff? Am I missing something here? In trying to figure out the number of active unique bands on MySpace, your analysis of who's active is great - how can we figure out the number of uniques? Thanks, Nick Hi Tony,

Quick question - how did you count or calculate the 13.5 million bands number? What does that include? I'm doing some research on this stuff and would really love to know.

All you need is jQuery and jquery.corner.js (links are above). This does not use the Prototype library. Let me know how this works out for you. It is working out great for me so far.
