CHORDONOMICON: A Dataset of 666,000 Songs and their Chord Progressions

Chordonomicon is a new dataset of over 666,000 song-level symbolic chord progressions, each annotated with structural parts such as verse, chorus, and bridge, as well as genre and release date. The dataset was compiled by scraping user-generated progressions from multiple sources and shows strong similarity to established prior datasets. The authors also provide a reproducible benchmark suite for next chord prediction, evaluating RNN, GRU, and LSTM models across various context windows and data scales, and find that structural part annotations consistently improve prediction performance.

A Repeated-Measurement Study for Cultural Analytics of English Song Lyrics Using Five Large Language Models

The paper evaluates five large language models as zero‑shot annotators of four social constructs—self‑esteem, self‑control, seeking belonging, and seeking recognition—in English song lyrics. It examines repeated‑measurement reliability, cross‑model convergence, and the transferability of consensus labels to supervised classification. Results show varying reliability across constructs, with self‑esteem being most stable and seeking recognition least stable, and indicate that consensus labels contain learnable signal for downstream tasks.

CMI-RewardBench: Evaluating Music Reward Models with Compositional Multimodal Instruction

arXiv:2603. 00610v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While music generation models have evolved to handle complex multimodal inputs mixing text, lyrics, and reference audio, evaluation mechanisms have lagged behind.
