Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong has claimed that social networking site MySpace is like a "great club".
Tong admitted that he is a regular MySpace user and argued that the site had outlasted other fashionable online resources to become the music industry's equivalent of Amazon.
He told the Press Association: "I think as a music application it's really, really strong again.
"I don't think it ever lost it but I think there is interest after people have looked at everything else and they've kind of gone back to MySpace. MySpace has carved out as Amazon is to books, MySpace is to music."
He added: "On the web fashion dominates, and MySpace was hot and then Bebo was hot for a minute and then Facebook is now hot and I think the great thing about MySpace is, almost like a great restaurant or a great club, it's past its fashionable phase and now I think it's really finding its feet."
