(Laughing as I write this)

I didn't know they'd done that ... I stopped looking at the play counts years ago ...

The issues with Myspace are in the process of being resolved.  If you
read the blogs on 'Tom's page, you'll see that they are well aware of
the issue.  All play counts are still being recorded, but as they
transfer over the information, some of it might not be represented
fully yet.

As of a few days, my play count diminished by about 8,000 plays, but
yesterday it returned to it's full value (still keeping track of how
many plays had come in that day).

Don't worry, they're working on it.
