Well organized with some good linking devices and collocations (gain popularity, remarkable recovery, decrease slightly) and some valid comparison of the music sites. However, some sentences are long and confusing (paragraph 5), some collocations are inaccurate (slight increased, reaching to their peaks) and there is some repetition (7th day, 3rd day, 11 th day). Some words are spelt incorrectly (poeple, Improoving, visiters, biegining).

The line graph compares two new music sites on the basis of its visitors on the internet in 15 days period.
The overall trend shows fluctuation with slight increase towards the end of the period.
The number of visitors to pop parade music site was 120,000 on the first day which was three times higher than of music choice,40,000.Despite remaining stable for the first three days and undergoing an erratic movement in the next few, the figures rose 30,000 than the initial ones.
On the other hand music choice with 30,000 visitors also underwent a similar up and down movement.By the 12th day the figures went up thrice exceeding of that of pop parade. Irrespective of a fall in pop parade visitors on the 12th and 13th day,the figure rose steadily reaching 170,000 in next two days, whereas those of music choice,dropped by 50,000 from its maximum visitors of 120,000 on 14th day. pop parade concluded with maximum visitors of 170,000, on its 15th day which is much lower than Music choice visitors.
