Is MySpace back? Redesign sees 31 million unique visitors in first 2 weeks

MySpace says their new layout and design is working with 31 million unique visitors in the last 2 weeks since it started up a 20 million dollar ad campaign. Of course most of us were at least curious, myself included, so the advertising campaign is working. The iPhone app also downloaded 995,000 times and MySpace was trending on Twitter.
The biggest confusion for me is that they want you to know this is a place to hang out for music, which is what I thought it had turned into as it began to fade away. The original MySpace was more of a hangout for everyone but as I and many others left, it really seemed to be mostly musicians left using it which begs the question; Can MySpace survive resurrecting what it was when it failed? After all, we can follow all our favorite bands on Facebook, Twitter and apps like Bandsintown for iOS and Android, which I highly recommend.
Time will tell.
