Now, for just $10 a song music service Music Xray can analyze the "hit-ability" of your music. For just a few bucks more a real A&R guy will give you his two cents too... this is stupid, but i guess it works. They even predicted that Crazy by Gnarls Barkley "would be the summer's biggest hit."
"I know a guy in Barcelona who has started a company to develop algorithms to determine whether a song is going to be a hit. It analyzes music to figure it out -- and they're selling it to the record companies, and it's quite effective. If you expand on that, there's no reason you couldn't have your own personal search engine that understands your taste and can instantly analyze music based on a whole bunch of different, very subjective criteria to determine whether you might like it." -- Moby, musician
