Abstract

Systems and methods for determining underplayed or overplayed items are provided herein. Instructions stored in memory are executed by a processor to: calculate short term scores for radio data and music identification service data of the items, determine linear distance and logarithmic distance between radio virtual radio plays per days on one million stations (VRPDOMS) and identification VRPDOMS of the items, identify and eliminate items lacking minimum requisite number of radio VRPDOMS or identification VRPDOMS, and sort the items by largest linear distance or largest logarithmic distance first. The sorted items are then transmitted to the computing device.

Claims

1. A method for determining a list of items, comprising:

executing instructions stored in memory by a processor to;

calculate short term scores for radio data and music identification service data of the items, the short term scores for radio data comprising number of times an item is played on radio and the short term scores for music identification service data comprising number of times an item is identified using a music identification service,

determine linear distance and logarithmic distance between radio virtual radio plays per days on one million stations (VRPDOMS) and identification virtual radio plays per days on one million stations of the items,

identify and eliminate items from the list of items lacking minimum requisite number of radio VRPDOMS or identification VRPDOMS, and

sort the list of items by largest linear distance or largest logarithmic distance first; and

transmitting for display the sorted list of items to a computing device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein information regarding the items comprises a song title, a name of an artist, an artist'"'"'s biographical information, identification of similar artists, a link to download a song, a link to download a video related to the song, or any combination thereof.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the items are underplayed items.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the underplayed items comprise underplayed songs.

5. The method of claim 4, further comprising identifying and eliminating underplayed songs from the list of items whose ratio between identification VRPDOMS and radio VRPDOMS is below 2.

6. The method of claim 4, further comprising identifying and eliminating underplayed songs from the list of items whose ratio between identification VRPDOMS and radio VRPDOMS is below 1.25.

7. The method of claim 4, further comprising identifying and eliminating underplayed songs from the list of items whose ratio between identification VRPDOMS and radio VRPDOMS is below 3.0.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the items are overplayed items.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the overplayed items comprise overplayed songs.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising identifying and eliminating overplayed songs from the list of items whose ratio between identification VRPDOMS and radio VRPDOMS is above 1/2.0.

11. The method of claim 9, further comprising identifying and eliminating overplayed songs from the list of items whose ratio between identification VRPDOMS and radio VRPDOMS is above 1/1.25.

12. The method of claim 9, further comprising identifying and eliminating overplayed songs from the list of items whose ratio between identification VRPDOMS and radio VRPDOMS is above 1/3.0.

13. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving user input from the computing device, the user input requesting a determination of the items.

14. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, the program being executable by a processor to perform a method for determining a list of items, the method comprising:

executing instructions stored in memory by a processor to;

calculate short term scores for radio data and music identification service data of the items, the short term scores for radio data comprising number of times an item is played on radio and the short term scores for music identification service data comprising number of times an item is identified using a music identification service,

determine linear distance and logarithmic distance between radio virtual radio plays per days on one million stations (VRPDOMS) and identification virtual radio plays per days on one million stations of the items,

identify and eliminate items from the list of items lacking minimum requisite number of radio VRPDOMS or identification VRPDOMS, and

sort the list of items by largest linear distance or largest logarithmic distance first; and

transmitting for display the sorted list of items to a computing device.

15. The computer readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein information regarding the items comprises a song title, a name of an artist, an artist'"'"'s biographical information, identification of similar artists, a link to download a song, a link to download a video related to the song, or any combination thereof.

16. The computer readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the items are underplayed items.

17. The computer readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the underplayed items comprise underplayed songs.

18. The computer readable storage medium of claim 17, further comprising identifying and eliminating underplayed songs from the list of items whose ratio between identification VRPDOMS and radio VRPDOMS is below 2.

19. The computer readable storage medium of claim 17, further comprising identifying and eliminating underplayed songs from the list of items whose ratio between identification VRPDOMS and radio VRPDOMS is below 1.25.

20. The computer readable storage medium of claim 17, further comprising identifying and eliminating underplayed songs from the list of items whose ratio between identification VRPDOMS and radio VRPDOMS is below 3.0.

21. The computer readable storage medium of claim 14, wherein the items are overplayed items.

22. The computer readable storage medium of claim 21, wherein the overplayed items comprise overplayed songs.

23. The computer readable storage medium of claim 22, further comprising identifying and eliminating overplayed songs from the list of items whose ratio between identification VRPDOMS and radio VRPDOMS is above 1/2.0.

24. The computer readable storage medium of claim 22, further comprising identifying and eliminating overplayed songs from the list of items whose ratio between identification VRPDOMS and radio VRPDOMS is above 1/1.25.

25. The computer readable storage medium of claim 22, further comprising identifying and eliminating overplayed songs from the list of items whose ratio between identification VRPDOMS and radio VRPDOMS is above 1/3.0.

26. The computer readable storage medium of claim 22, further comprising receiving user input from the computing device, the user input requesting a determination of the items.

27. A system for determining a list of items, comprising:

a computing device having a display;

a processor configured to execute instructions stored in memory to;

execute instructions stored in memory by a processor to;

calculate short term scores for radio data and music identification service data of the items, the short term scores for radio data comprising number of times an item is played on radio and the short term scores for music identification service data comprising number of times an item is identified using a music identification service,
