Odd that it’s on top of a sales chart when AI music can’t be copyrighted, so anyone could just get it for free. It makes me suspect it’s presence there might be inauthentic.
AI music can’t be copyrighted
That’s true (though it may depend on which country you are in). But if “a human contributes creatively to an AI-generated work, such as by writing lyrics or modifying melodies, that work may be eligible for copyright”.
You can guarantee that labels/authors will do enough to make sure they can get copyright.
I was drunk the day ma momma got out of prison.
I mean country music can be made by a donkey anyway. Only the old country is good
Tbh I predicted that a computer would be able to make a hit country song over a decade ago. It’s extremely formulaic and the lack of creativity in popular country is almost a point of pride for fans. I’m just kind of surprised it took this long if I’m being honest.
Really? People like the formula?
I guess people like the hallmark channel too so I guess that tracks
An ai generated artist is also topping the R&b charts
While I hate AI generated music, art, etc. I consider it funny to see that they are aiming at the lowest hanging fruit where human slop meets AI slop.
It looks like pretty much every one of the commenters agree that if a machine can replace your art, you fucking deserve to be replaced. It’s been a long, long time coming for popular country music.
Nobody in the world except some tasteless US peasants listens or gives a fuck about moronic country ‘music’.
It’s all bots
Not surprising. Capitalism wants money. Most people don’t care about things like “Art” or “long term”.
According to another article , the only requirement to reaching that position is selling 3,000 copies. It was basically a PR stunt and it worked, since headlines are gobbling it up and spreading the “artist”'s name all over the place.
Thank you! I made a similar comment elsewhere. This was a chart for sales, and because generative AI can’t even be copyrighted there is no reason to purchase it. This has publicity stunt written all over it.
I’ve been collecting music for a while on my hard drive and AI-generated stuff has been one of my worries. I tend to download a lot of vaporwave from Bandcamp (sometimes full labels at a time) and some of those artists have used AI. I’m sure some unmarked AI slop has sneaked into my collection this way and I don’t know which albums/tracks.
Well, it was definitely going to be within modern country where it became successful and accepted.
This just goes to show how bad country has become.

the last video i watched about this clearly showed the channels blend poorly with ai so is ai production better in the last 3 months or are they doing a manual mix by human hand later?
LOL. As if it was ever good.
Johnny Cash would like a word.
It’s been algorithm slop since the late 90’s, exactly like boy bands. What’s the surprise?
When all your art does is make people feel but without meaning, don’t be surprised when the machines get better at pressing the happy button.
Look, I’ve used a variety of toys throughout my life, but my hand still works better tha- oh you mean a different metaphorical “happy button.” Carry on, then.
