I Like the Way It Sounds: the Influence of Which Instruments and How Many Instruments Are Audible on Music Preferences
This research documents the relationship between what instruments are audible to a listener and preferences for music. By comparing #1 singles Billboard’s Hot 100 weekly rankings with songs that never climbed above #90 from the past 55 years, we identify how specific instrument combinations distinguish popular songs from unpopular songs.
