I read your article on Peak Rock with some interest. I have been contemplating this issue for some time.
Well, since 2005 anyway: http://tamponteabag.blogspot.com/2005/09/peak-melody.html

Someone has illustrated my article here: http://www.overgrownpath.com/2005/11/peak-melody.html
My thesis has also been published in a reputable journal: http://www.amazon.co.uk/2005-Blogged-Blogosphere-Tim-Worstall/dp/0954831837

Please don’t think that I am writing to claim priority on this discovery, however. Though I do take credit for first applying the theories of MK Hubbert to the problem of music exhaustion, the fundamental phenomenon has been documented since at least 1873: http://tamponteabag.blogspot.com/2006/02/great-minds.html

Yours melodiously,
