Software claimed to accurately predict chart hits Just what we needed...more formulas for pop music! 
"...But now a piece of software claims it can compute whether a song has chart-topping potential, and a number of record companies and musicians are using Hit Song Science (HSS) to gauge whether they have a hit on their hands. The software, developed by Barcelona-based Music Intelligence Solutions, works by breaking down more than 60 elements of a song, including melody, harmony, tempo, pitch, octave, beat, rhythm, fullness of sound, noise, brilliance and chord progression, and compares it against a database of over 3.5 million past commercial hits. The program organizes songs into clusters with similar-sounding equivalents and then rates the song on a scale of one to ten, with a score of 7.3 being deemed likely to do well in the music charts..."

Of that thirty percent, I'll bet the public has heard twenty percent of it." - Susan Rogers, "Hunting for Prince's Vault", BBC, 2015 |

Is there ANYTHING these days that we aren't trying to over-research? What happened to taking risks? Apparently companies don't do that anymore.  | |

Not surprised though, With just one fifth of their musicians making a profit for today's record companies, executives are always searching for new ways to narrow the risk margin. because as we have all have stated it's all about the dollar. So from this point forward we should get nothing but hit records on   National Funk League✮✮ | |
