So i'm watching this new show, it's called Scorpion, and now i'm watching episode 8.

In it Kid Cudi plays a programmer/musician, and his best friend which is a musician blogger dies mysteriously
then a group of geniuses(the stars of the show) come to work with the FBI to find the murderer

Kid Cudi created an algorithm that aggregates data from all the top hit songs in the last 50 years so that a computer can create "perfect songs" that would dominate the airwaves
With modern variations in input, gender of artist and time signature it would crank out a mathematically perfect hit song
Someone broke into Kid Cudi's house and stole the program, cudi believes it was a label mogul, none other than Method Man
Cudi said that there are a few artists that have songs that he is positive was generated by his stolen program.

And the entire team says that if the public knew this artist's hit songs were made by a machine he would be shamed out of the industry.

And guess what..... the entire story was based on a..... wait for it........ wait for it.....

I just watched this episode, the show is pretty poorly written and acted, but still interesting enough to get through. And I remember hearing about a program that does this a couple years ago. It didn't go into any one artist or producer specifically, it just vaguely described what it does and how it was responsible for so many pop songs sounding so similar. It made it sound like it's used pretty widely in the industry. If anyone in hip-hop is using it, Drake is definitely a top candidate, can't blame him for using the resources at hand though he'd be a fool not to use it for the singles at least.


This isn't the article I read, but it gets into an algorithm being used to mine data from hit songs over the last 50 years (same as the show) and predict if a song will be a hit, and the technology they describe can also be used to fine tune your song to what the algorithm says should make it a hit.

Pop Hit Prediction Algorithm Mines 50 Years of Chart-Toppers for Data

"Once the algorithm has churned out these weights it’s simply a case of mining your proposed song for these exact same features (the “f”s in the equation) and working out whether they correspond to the trends of the time. This gives you a hit-prediction score."

So if your song doesn't match the trends of the time, you can go back in a fix it.


EDIT:

Another article discussing it briefly, still not the one I read but it talks about the same concept.

The Scandinavian Secret Behind All Your Favorite Songs

"The software of hit songs now. We’ll look at the algorithms, computer generated beats and producers making it happen for Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and more.

We call pop singers “artists” and think of them conjuring hit songs from the struggles and joys of their lives. But the fact is these days that most top pop hits in America are driven by a bunch of middle-aged Swedes and Norwegians and more, in a kind of factory of lyrics and beats and algorithms. Scratch the latest top hits of Taylor Swift – Bad Blood, Shake it Off – or The Weekend’s Can’t Feel My Face or a whole lot more, and you’ll find the factory."
