AI music is no longer a fantasy or niche curiosity among internet sleuths \u2014 it\u2019s here, and it\u2019s already beginning to have an impact on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s charts.<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n In just the past few months, at least six AI or AI-assisted artists have debuted on various Billboard<\/em> rankings. That figure could be higher, as it\u2019s become increasingly difficult to tell who or what is powered by AI \u2014 and to what extent. Many of these charting projects<\/a>, whose music spans every genre from gospel to rock to country, also arrive with anonymous or mysterious origins.<\/p>\n How do we know these charting titles are AI or AI-assisted? For some, their artist pages on DSPs claim their music was made with the help of AI. For others, Billboard<\/em> cross-checked the songs using Deezer\u2019s AI detection tool<\/a>, which adds a flag to all AI-generated content on the platform.<\/p>\n One of the most prominent examples is Xania Monet, an artist with an animated avatar created by Mississippi-based songwriter Telisha \u201cNikki\u201d Jones. Jones writes the lyrics and has used Suno \u2014 along with help from some other humans \u2014 to create the songs. Monet made headlines<\/a> in September when she debuted on multiple Billboard<\/em> charts: Hot Gospel Songs with \u201cLet Go, Let Go\u201d (which climbed to No. 3 on the chart dated Oct. 25) and Hot R&B Songs with \u201cHow Was I Supposed to Know?\u201d (No. 20 peak).<\/p>\n There was a bidding war to sign Xania Monet with offers reaching $3 million. Hallwood Media, led by former Interscope executive Neil Jacobson, ultimately signed Monet<\/a> to a multimillion-dollar deal.<\/p>\n Monet has since become the first known AI artist to earn enough radio airplay to debut on a Billboard<\/em> radio chart, debuting at No. 30 on this week\u2019s Adult R&B Airplay chart (dated Nov. 11). She\u2019s also topped R&B Digital Song Sales (with \u201cHow Was I Supposed to Know?\u201d on Sept. 20) and debuted on Emerging Artists (reaching No. 18).<\/p>\n Notably, at least one AI artist has debuted in each of the past four chart weeks, a streak suggesting this trend is quickly accelerating. Below is a recap of the AI artists who\u2019ve appeared on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s charts, in order of their debuts.<\/p>\n <\/a> Billboard VIP Pass<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Debuted at No. 14 on Christian Digital Song Sales (dated Aug. 16) with \u201cThe Only Thing I Can Take to Heaven\u201d (thanks to 1,000 downloads sold that week, according to Luminate). The song is credited to songwriter Cindy Hugo. To date, the artist\u2019s catalog has earned 1.2 million official U.S. streams, according to Luminate.<\/p>\n Created by Jones using the AI platform Suno, Monet\u2019s blend of gospel and R&B has made her perhaps the most visible AI artist to date. Jones writes about 90% of Monet\u2019s lyrics herself, with the rest inspired by stories from her friends and community. Monet has charted on Hot Gospel Songs, Hot R&B Songs, Adult R&B Airplay and Emerging Artists, among other charts, and her catalog has amassed 44.4 million official U.S. streams.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, Billboard<\/em> estimated<\/a> that five of her songs had generated $52,000 in just over two months.<\/p>\n The AI-assisted project by songwriter Terrance LeDoux debuted at No. 47 on the Emerging Artists chart dated Oct. 11, powered by \u201cYou Got This.\u201d The song reached No. 10 on Rock Digital Song Sales that week with 1,000 downloads sold. Unbound\u2019s artist bio states that its releases \u201ccombine human creativity with artificial intelligence,\u201d with varying degrees of AI involvement. Its catalog has earned 5.5 million official streams.<\/p>\n The AI-assisted project by songwriter Thong Viet debuted at No. 44 on the Emerging Artists chart dated Oct. 18, thanks largely to \u201cThrough My Soul.\u201d The song debuted at No. 15 on Rock Digital Song Sales that week with 1,000 downloads sold. Enlly\u2019s artist bio says that the artist is \u201can independent blues artist\u201d whose music blends \u201cacoustic music, production, recording and AI-powered creativity.\u201d Its catalog has earned 5.3 million official streams.<\/p>\n The contemporary Christian AI-powered artist, whose songs are credited to Nguyen Duc Nam, debuted at No. 44 on the Emerging Artists chart (dated Oct. 25), largely thanks to \u201cLord, You Are My Strength,\u201d which tallied 1,000 downloads that week. Juno\u2019s catalog has earned 1.6 million official streams.<\/p>\n The newest entrant, Breaking Rust, debuts at No. 9 on the Emerging Artists chart (dated Nov. 1), driven by two charting songs: \u201cLivin\u2019 On Borrowed Time\u201d(No. 5 on Country Digital Song Sales and No. 13 on Digital Song Sales) and \u201cWalk My Walk\u201d (No. 14 on Country Digital Song Sales). The former debuts with 2,000 downloads sold, while the latter debuts with 1,000 sold. The project, credited to songwriter Aubierre Rivaldo Taylor, has generated 1.6 million official U.S. streams.<\/p>\n While the recent wave of AI-charting artists feels sudden, their presence on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s charts isn\u2019t entirely new.<\/p>\n In 2023, Trump The Don \u2014 a parody AI project created by the rapper Hi-Rez \u2014 reached No. 5 on both the Rap Digital Song Sales and R&B\/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales charts, and hit No. 45 on Digital Song Sales, with \u201cFirst Day Out.\u201d The song used AI-filtering technology to mimic Donald Trump\u2019s voice to make it sound like he was rapping. It was released after his Fulton County arrest and subsequent viral mugshot, and received a boost in attention from several right-wing pundits.<\/p>\n That same month, BOI WHAT debuted at No. 14 on Hot Hard Rock Songs with \u201cPLAN Z.\u201d The artist creates music inspired by the Nickelodeon show Spongebob Squarepants<\/em>. \u201cPLAN Z\u201d uses AI-filtering tools to mimic the voice of the character Plankton.<\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
