In March 2008, MySpace Records released Pennywise's ninth album, Reason to Believe. A partnership with corporate sponsor Textango meant that MySpace Records provided fans with a free download of the album during a two-week period in exchange for adding the sponsor as a friend on MySpace.com.[4] In 2009, Jeremy Greene released his single "Rain" featuring Pitbull that became the #1 song on MySpace in its prime.
