I have a friend who has a music page on myspace, and she has had 12000 plays in 6 months. Is this a lot of plays or not so many plays?

When I had music on there, I had 800 some plays. I had it on there for at least a year.

I think that is a ton, and probably skewed by someone who is listening to it a lot (each time would be a “play” right?) Either that or it is extremely popular in a large area…Just my guesses.
