We'll add it — the artist is already in the catalogue, so it lands fast
We scored every transition between Ne-Yo’s 11 analysed tracks and every track by 12,460 other artists. 2 catalogues clear the bar — a transition counts at 80 chemistry or above, the same number you’ll see on any track page. The 2 with the widest margin over chance are below.
Chance is measured, not assumed: 0.573% of transitions between two randomly drawn tracks by different artists in this catalogue reach 80. Listed alphabetically — the set is reproducible, the order inside it is not.
11 of the 440 transitions between these catalogues reach 80 chemistry. Chance would give 2.5. They come from 6 different Ne-Yo tracks.
19 of the 440 transitions between these catalogues reach 80 chemistry. Chance would give 2.5. They come from 7 different Ne-Yo tracks.

Chemistry weighs harmonic, rhythmic, energy, groove, mood and vocal compatibility. Tempos are as analysed from the recording — where a genre is habitually detected an octave down, this is how we handle it. Different measurement from the audience-overlap list further down the page.
DJs and producers closest to Ne-Yo by audience overlap — the artists their listeners also play. It’s a taste signal, not a measured key-and-tempo match: good for shortlisting crates when you’re prepping a set around Ne-Yo, then check the chemistry on the pair you actually mix.
