**Data drives your marketing, so why not your music?**

**[Hypebot](https://www.hypebot.com/)** has written the first **data-driven hit song** and wants you to sing their first single. Inspired by the work of **[Jay Frank](http://www.futurehitdna.com/?ref=hypebot.com)** of *FutureHitDNA*, I decided to craft my own hit song and hold a contest that challenges you to **write the music**.

What’s unique about the lyric is that the words are those used **most often** in the **Top 50 selling downloads** of this year. That’s right, Jay made this fascinating, yet revealing inforgraphic and I followed it *religiously* to **write this "catchy" lyric**.

Words like “**love**,” “**baby**,” and “**like**” were all I had to work with. The result is humoring at times, *scary* in others. **The Hypebot Hit Song Contest** invites you to take part in the fun and produce the most stereotypical pop song you can imagine. Think **KE$HA** meets **Justin Bieber**. Baby, baby, your love is my drug.

Winners will get to make their **claim to fame** and will receive a number of cool prizes, yet to be confirmed, including a one-time, hit-song analysis performed by Mr. **Jay Frank**\* himself. In the coming weeks, we’ll roll out the details and give you the opportunity to pay homage to the kind of music that you just love to hate.

Just so **you**, the respectable artist, musician, or singer know what kind of terrible awesomeness your getting yourself involved in, here's a **preview of the chorus**:

**Oh baby, yeah, Imma rock your body hard—like damn** 
**Chick I wanna know, cause I get around now—like bad** 
**Love gonna stop, Imma rock your body hard—** **like** 
**damn**  
**Had enough tonight, I wanna break the love—** **like bad**

To illustrate how I used the **data** to write this lyric, I've **color** **coordinated** the words. I used the largest words on the chart for the chorus and the smaller ones for the verses. The words in **black** are in the raw data, but are not in **the image**.

Again, this is **just a teaser** for things to come. Stayed tuned. We hope to break out the contest at the top of next week, if there aren't any **last minute** snags.
