Major Music Labels Use Artificial Intelligence to Help Determine "Hitability" Of Music. "The application can recognize hidden market trends and consumer taste patterns as they evolve over time as well as complex intricacies of recorded music only understood at very deep levels of the human consciousness. Most people can't explain why they like a certain song beyond saying they like blues, or a good beat and a strong melody. This technology can actually pinpoint what complex patterns are most attractive to a given listener or audience. Music labels are using the technology to better allocate promotion spending, accurately predict sales and anticipate the market."
