Earlier today we told you about Blur's upcoming reunion shows. Now we've learned that Damon Albarn's virtual pop band Gorillaz are the most "friended" band on MySpace in 2008. For real! The most-watched video of the year on MySpace? Madonna's "4 Minutes," closely followed by videos from The Verve ("Love is Noise") and BPA featuring David Byrne and Dizzee Rascal ("Toe Jam").
