Luck is considered to be a crucial ingredient to achieve impact in all creative domains, despite their diversity. For instance, in science, the movie industry, music, and art, the occurrence of the highest impact work and of a hot streak within a creative career are very difficult to predict. Are there domains that are more prone to luck than others? Here, we provide new insights on the role of randomness in impact in creative careers in two ways: (i) we systematically untangle luck and individual ability to generate impact in the movie, music, and book industries, and in science, and compare the luck factor between these fields; (ii) we show the limited predictive power of collaboration networks to predict career hits. Taken together, our analysis suggests that luck consistently affects career impact across all considered sectors and improves our understanding in pinpointing the key elements in the prediction of success.We compiled four data sets and individual careers across the movie, music, and book industries, and across scientific fields, covering overall 28 different types of creative domains:1. We mined the Internet Movie Database (IMDb [26]) and compiled a data set of 803,013 individuals in the movie industry working as movie directors, producers, art directors, soundtrack composers, and scriptwriters, altogether contributing to 1,297,275 movies.

“…For group work to effectively motivate students and achieve its learning goals, it relies on 'high collective efficacy' and community. 103 Accordingly, as much of the learning context as possible should be geared towards fostering intrinsic and internally regulated motivations, such as identified and integrated regulation, as outlined above. Nonetheless, students are learning in a wider context in which there are many external demands, pressures and constraints and individual marks are at a premium.…”

“…138 The 'teacher presence' must not be lost in any reflection and feedback, 139 above all given students' potential sensitivity and lack of experience in this area. Indeed, especially where there are online components, reduced lecturer-input generally as the course progresses has been identified as lack of support for the competence 140 and relatedness 141 needs of students. Regardless of whether students submit a self-reflection, lecturers should provide feedback to the individual as well as joint feedback to the groups (via, for instance, their group forum).…”

While the emergence of success in creative professions, such as music, has been studied extensively, the link between individual success and collaboration is not yet fully uncovered. Here we aim to fill this gap by analyzing longitudinal data on the co-releasing and mentoring patterns of popular electronic music artists appearing in the annual Top 100 ranking of DJ Magazine. We find that while this ranking list of popularity publishes 100 names, only the top 20 is stable over time, showcasing a lock-in effect on the electronic music elite. Based on the temporal co-release network of top musicians, we extract a diverse community structure characterizing the electronic music industry. These groups of artists are temporally segregated, sequentially formed around leading musicians, and represent changes in musical genres. We show that a major driving force behind the formation of music communities is mentorship: around half of musicians entering the top 100 have been mentored by current leading figures before they entered the list. We also find that mentees are unlikely to break into the top 20, yet have much higher expected best ranks than those who were not mentored. This implies that mentorship 1 arXiv:1908.10968v2 [physics.soc-ph] 31 Oct 2019 helps rising talents, but becoming an all-time star requires more. Our results provide insights into the intertwined roles of success and collaboration in electronic music, highlighting the mechanisms shaping the formation and landscape of artistic elites in electronic music.
