It's time for another entry of All Up In MySpace, where we look at artists who are flying high on MySpace's music charts. Today, we look at the Texas screamers in Drowning Pool, who are responsible for the jock jam "Bodies"—and who are sitting at No. 2 on MySpace's list of unsigned bands after four years that saw them lose their lead singer and get dropped by their label.
