"Walk my walk" and "Livin' on borrowed time" by the group Breaking Rust topped Spotify's "Viral 50" in the US. According to the streaming service, the list documents "the most viral tracks right now" on a daily basis.
A Dutch song, “We say no, no, no to an asylum center” by JW Broken Veteran, is a protest against the creation of new asylum centers. It took first place on Spotify’s global version of the chart. Breaking Rust was also in the top five there.
However, Broken Veteran's songs recently disappeared from Spotify and Youtube due to rights issues.
AI-generated music is growing. According to a study from the Deezer platform, 50,000 AI-created songs are uploaded there every day, which corresponds to 34 percent of all new music on the platform.
Musician Ed Newton-Rex tells The Guardian that the enormous amount contributes to the success.
It's part of the very rapid trend where AI music is becoming popular basically because it's being distributed in volume. You have 50,000 songs a day competing with human musicians.
Deezer also found that 97 percent of 9,000 respondents cannot hear the difference between AI music and human-created music.
