Comparing music complexity with audio data compressibility sounds like a big stretch. Music made of random notes doesn't sound anything like random noise, and a simple lullaby where the instument would be a random noise flute would still be hard to compress.

Compressing midi files would probably have been nore useful, and I doubt classical music would have topped the charts.
