Kinda creepy. Kinda cool.

Okay, not cool. But interesting.

I have to admit to uploading 2 songs to the site and one was "Platinum" status (8.7), the other was "Keep Trying" (4.4).

As a musician, it is cool to see (at least on a mathematical level) whether or not my song is a "hit". Won't change a damn thing about the way I write or perform, but it's cool nonetheless.

So maybe it is cool... like that.

There's a precursor to this technology, unfortunately I can't remember the name of it.
