On May 9, 2008 Platinum Blue's hit prediction service was a central part of the story line on the CBS television series Numb3rs. As we've seen before in the NBC series Studio 60: On The Sunset Strip, Platinum Blue makes for good and interesting drama. Music Xray is not always portrayed accurately but that's part of the dramatization. In this episode of Numb3rs (called "Pay To Play"), a music label president is paying radio stations to play songs from one of the artists signed to his label in spite of the fact the public isn't buying while on the other hand he refuses to sign an artist whose Music Xray? scores are very high. The label owner is even paying the radio stations not to play his songs. It results in murder and intrigue. Thankfully, in this case fiction is stranger than truth.
