It’s like a FICO credit score for music.

For the first time in your song writing career, you will get immediate feedback on the quality of your music, its competitive edge in the music industry, and its hit potential. Plus, this response includes targeted promotional tools to help you gain exposure and visibility with audiences who already appreciate your sound.

Apparently having similar patterns doesn’t mean you are just following existing trends and fashion. After all, a pleasing melody is a pleasing melody, whatever the style. Norah Jones material was quite different from anything released before. They tested her songs and found they had huge hit potential; this was long before Norah won awards and sold millions of copies.

This surprisingly accurate technology could profoundly change the way music is created… High music-intelligence scores can help convince notoriously risk-averse and it's-who-you-know record labels to take a chance on new talent.

This new technology that predicts whether a song will be a hit exhibited very high prediction accuracy rate … Popular and independent artists worldwide are using this system to help them predict the hit potential of their new songs.

Above all else I consider Hit Song Science the most innovative music solutions technology today that analyzes your song’s hit potential and commercial success.

I’m in. Thanks for the opportunity. You tell me when, and as the Beatles said, 'I'll be there' … You are changing the world, not only the music. Congratulations!

The creation and production of music is undergoing a revolution.

Hit Song Science, le détecteur des tubes de demain.

The hard thing for songwriters is that it's difficult to get an objective opinion. You love your song and so does your mom, but will anybody else? So that's why I loaded it up to Hit Song Science. What could be more objective than a computer program? … within a few weeks of getting my results I was engaged in conversations with a major label in the UK.

…the reputation of Hit Song Science™ combined with their reports helped us gain the attention of some major label industry heavyweights. Hit Song Science is a must-have tool for any hit song builder.

Man is it tough to get those heard by anyone. uPlaya gave "River Common" Platinum status and that was excellent validation for me. I know the term musical genius is used far too freely but … the guy who wrote this software surely is ... Nice work. Very cool software (I've also created software for Time Warner and my own company so I know the work that goes into that too).

Robert Lamm, pianist, singer and founding member of the rock band Chicago, ... realized the program could give artists a "leg to stand on" when trying to persuade record label executives to promote a particular song.

What a great way to get some objective feedback! … Interestingly enough, uPlaya had helped in making some tough decisions as to which tunes out of the 15 would actually make the final cut. It also got me to take a closer listen to some of the vocals that were questionable … Whether you’re working with a song and want to know how different versions pan out, or making those tough decisions about which songs to include on an album in order to leave them wanting more, uPlaya offers a professional, objective and relevant solution. I love it!

One of the most important decisions for a label usually was which single of an album (with on average of 10 songs) to release first. … Particularly for new artists, the first single was often a make-or-break situation…. Generating significant airplay for a song could easily cost $100,000 in promotion fees alone. … For each label, the few successes covered the losses made on the many failed titles …[Hit Song Science] offered a chance to test songs or albums at some stage during the production process and ‘tweak’ them to maximize their hit potential.

The uPlaya Hit Song Science has been a fantastic tool not only to validate my music, but also to allow me to take some risks creatively to push my music to another level.

University of California at Santa Cruz Professor Emeritus of Music David Cope maintains that technology itself is an extension of human creativity … ‘For me at least, algorithmic creativity demonstrates our understanding of how we create,’ Cope, an expert in the fields of algorithmic musical composition and computer music analysis, said. ‘And understanding something does not demean it, but rather it enhances it.’

This service is really about the song. It's not just about getting hits. It makes you look at the craft a little harder and makes you a better musician."

uPlaya seems to be the one tool Chicago could have used …. Musicians tend to want to constantly move into unchartered waters, so having an idea of what may work – without completely baffling your audience and based upon some science – brings a fresh objectivity to music projects.

uPlaya … [has] become the new talent scout for the music industry, finding and promoting promising new artists.

Music Intelligence systems that can distinguish hits from misses could change the way music is made and marketed.

For new artists willing to try anything to break into the Top 30, Hit Song Science is seen as an added marketing tool.

uPlaya bridges an important gap between the sheer volume of music available for sale or stream, a hungry global audience trying to find great new things to hear, and technological innovations that continue to bring the two closer together in innovative and efficient ways.

Online services have helped address the 'availability' problem for music, but consumers and artists are still frustrated by a lack of visibility to easily connect great artists with potential fans. Music Intelligence Solutions can solve the visibility problem better than any technology that I have seen.

Let me just say thanks to the founders for making it available as a tool for the independent artist and helping them enter the very competitive music market. uPlaya is definitely on track with the future business model for the music industry.

I like this website… It allows you to receive valuable insight about creating your brand.

Elcodrive’s manager, Josh Kampel, has fielded calls from more record companies interested in bringing the band back to New York for additional showcases – in part, Kampel believes, because of the Hit Song Science Album Report that was sent to key label figures.

Thanks to uPlaya's stunning arsenal of facts about how people react to music and why, Blue Infinity Music is now connecting to a new audience, previously out of reach. Place a value on that.

This business has always been run by instinct and gut, but my experiences with Hit Song Science have been fantastic. HSS has been extremely accurate on the tracks we have taken to commercial radio … Releases in the music business traditionally are a big gamble. We can spend millions of dollars to put a product on the market and not be sure whether there will be any demand for it or whether it will get any airplay.

We believe uPlaya is a very significant piece of technology (especially the value equation) for independent labels. At the end of the day, like everything in music, there are many facets to hit songs and we consider uPlaya to be a valuable tool for independent musicians and labels … uPlaya said they are Hit songs – but are they a perfect fit for Australia right now? We contacted a very reputable consulting company to run their magic ears over the tracks (at considerable cost compared to uPlaya). Sure enough …. their thoughts were spot on with uPlaya’s results. At the end of the day we were after some validation and uPlaya certainly gave it to us in the most instantaneous and cost effective way possible.

When this product came along I was very skeptical. So I put together a crazy album with some really bad songs and some really good ones, just to see what would happen. When [Music Intelligence Solutions] sent a report back, it clearly showed the duds and the hits. Now that I have tested it, I realize that this is an amazing tool for producers.

A music executive who is working with the technology said the program also identified the gold content of a song. This is the part that is supposedly the most likable and can be sampled in television commercials, films and other songs.

(We) use the latest, most cutting-edge technology, like uPlaya, to find the audiences most likely to have the taste and craving for specific music qualities.

Hit Song Science™ (HSS™) picked out the potential of the jazz singer Norah Jones months before she topped the US charts and won eight Grammy awards for her first album … Record companies have been so impressed that they are beginning trials of the software.

It’s a fascinating tool, and smart companies will use this as ancillary information...

The kind of information Music Intelligence Solutions provides in their pre-release reports helps reduce uncertainty before releasing a given song.

We, as producers have an ability to hear what sounds right and what doesn’t. Making hit songs is what we do. However I think we can always become more precise and that is what we’re doing with Hit Song Science™.

It can’t take into account the way a band looks… but at the same time, we find it intriguing.

Music Intelligence Solutions has developed software to help record labels identify hot songs, no matter what the genre.

…record industry executives said they lean heavily on Music Intelligence Solutions’ pre-release reports to weed out probable sonic duds.

It's unlike anything the studios have done before with music. The goal with every movie score is to get a specific emotional response. And it's always been tedious for producers and directors to find the right song for the right scene.

Honestly, more and more we're seeing the need for new kinds of filters ... We used to have radios to tell us what to listen to but that doesn't work so well anymore. To the extent that a technology like [uPlaya] can steer fans toward artists and vice versa, I think that's a good thing.

We will be looking at the data that comes with Music Intelligence Solutions' Music Universe to help reinforce and rationalize our creative and strategic decisions. It's a great step forward that's bringing a new level of sophistication and insight to branding with sound.

uPlaya’s Hit Song Science technology is innovative and we look forward to creating an opportunity for unknown talent to be heard.

Our partnership with uPlaya represents an innovative approach to breaking new talent in the Hip Hop community globally.

I think because now there are so many records that are contending for chart positions, it’s more important than ever that the quality threshold is high, you’ve got a strong melody, a tune, a hook you can sing … I think it’s more important than ever because there is so much out there.

Music Intelligence Solutions is a riveting force into digital distribution, awareness, and, most of all, discovery of digital media … Online services have helped address the 'availability' problem for music, but consumers and artists are still frustrated by a lack of visibility to easily connect great artists with potential fans. Music Intelligence Solutions can solve the visibility problem better than any technology that I have seen.

I found your site last week by accident and was blown away with what you offer and feel that your service has the power to shape the lives of unsigned bands worldwide.

It’s an exciting time in music history and models such as uPlaya.com are the new vehicles for the emotion of music!

My son’s band came out with an LP a year ago. To say they are a unique experimental band is putting it mildly. I still don’t know what genres to put them in. Some of the reviews don’t even have words to describe it but still like it … I went and had all the songs on the album scored. They ranged from 4.0 to 8.5. Then I asked my son what three songs from the LP do you think your fans like the most or requested most often when you play live. He named all three songs that scored a Platinum Award. It may come in handy when you’re trying to get down to 10 or 12 songs for a new album. I would consider using the HSS rated song to show a sample of the music on the new LP.

First of all, I'd like to say that this technology is remarkable. Thank you for making it available to people like us. We are a young independent label…

The only thing about uPlaya is that it's addictive. Once you start submitting songs and getting feedback, it makes you want to do more and more … A machine doesn't lie. It has no feelings toward you one way or another. It just matches it with proven hits and tells you the truth. I think the machine is very accurate.

Just let me say I love the technology, and I'm a firm believer [in] it.

It works like a champ!

The approach you guys offer independent bands that need assistance getting noticed within the difficult music industry is unique and appears to be very promising.

I have been in the online space for a long time and uPlaya is not only one of the cleverest things I have ever seen... it's also one of the best music models I have seen.

THIS WEBSITE IS A WONDERFUL WAY TO GET YOUR MUSIC HEARD I AM NEW TO THIS BUT SO FAR I AM LIKE'N IT.

There is something incredible about your Hit Song Science&tradel - because consistently I've had solid reviews of that song … This shows some correlation with other professional "listeners". Keep up the good work.

It was a very nail biting and wonderful experience to receive your technology feedback…

My interest was like a greyhound out of a trap when I first learned of the existence of [uPlaya]. A voice in my head shouted WHOOOH HOOOOO!

I put a load of tracks together in what didn’t really fit into any known genre. I discovered uPlaya in June and … sent uPlaya’s widget all over the place … The awards gave me great confidence as a novice, and I’m presently at NR, 35 in the local charts here, a magazine wants to review my CD … all due to fact that uPlaya inspired me to send my music widgets out and about. So here’s to uPlaya … worked for me...
