I posted several times already about Platinum Blue, the NY based music consultant who claim to be able to predict hits with a 80% accuracy - see here. Platinum Blue have now relaunched their service and added a clever little widget which allow musicians to create a link between their songs and its Xray report - read what they say about it here.
And here is what it looks like for the tracks of BARON ZERO first album:
You can also add the links on your MySpace page as I have done here.
And by the way, if you have clicked on the links, you will have no doubt noticed that 2 of the tracks ('No Easy Way' and 'Neverfater') have bona fide hit potential with scores above 700 (as written by Malcom Gladwell "everything above 700 is exceptional") while a 3rd ('She shines') comes pretty close.
