AI music is charting weekly as Billboard claims trend is “quickly accelerating”

Billboard reports that AI artists are consistently appearing on their charts – at least one new AI musician makes the charts every week – and this trend is expected to continue.

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is rapidly growing in many industries, and music is no exception. It’s become particularly prevalent in the music world recently.

Spotify is facing challenges with AI-created music, including songs made to sound like artists who have passed away, entirely AI-generated bands, and musicians using AI to create vocals or virtual performances.

Xania Monet is a fascinating AI artist created by poet Talisha Jones. Before focusing on AI music, Jones was a successful musician herself, even receiving record deal offers worth up to $3 million. Currently, Xania Monet boasts nearly 500,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

AI artist Xania Monet debuts on Billboard charts

Monet’s song, “How Was I Supposed to Know?”, made history in late October by becoming the first track by an AI artist to appear on a Billboard radio chart. It debuted at number 30 on the Adult R&B Airplay chart.

Billboard reports she’s one of several AI artists recently appearing on their charts. They’ve noted at least six AI or AI-assisted artists have debuted in various rankings just in the last few months, and the actual number could be even higher. It’s becoming harder to determine which artists use AI and how much.

Interestingly, a new artist using AI has appeared on the charts for the last four weeks in a row, which indicates this trend is gaining momentum rapidly.

As we’ve seen, artificial intelligence is creating challenges for musicians. AI-generated artists are gaining popularity and sometimes surpassing established bands, often by drawing inspiration from their work.

Lucas Woodland of Holding Absence expressed shock, disappointment, and offense, calling the rise of AI bands a ‘wake-up call.’ He warned that if AI bands continue to receive support, genuine musicians risk being overshadowed and disappearing.
