A coalition of nearly a dozen of the biggest record companies, including Universal Music Group, Sony Music and Warner Music Group, are calling for global music charts to adopt policies that would disqualify many AI slop tracks from consideration. The companies are calling on chart companies to introduce new rules that would only allow AI-generated songs if the use of AI is properly authorized and lawful, if the track was substantially human made, and if it doesn’t raise concerns of streaming fraud or chart manipulation. “Tracks created using generative AI systems have been appearing on streaming services, however many of these have been developed with tools that have been trained on artists’ music without authorisation,” the companies said in a release on Wednesday. “These tracks are also commonly associated with streaming fraud.” While AI-generated songs haven’t overwhelmed the charts yet, the AI country act Breaking Rust made it on the country digital sales chart last year. All three major labels sued AI music generators Suno and Udio back in 2024, though UMG settled with Udio last year, while WMG settled with both.
