Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Xania Monet is the first AI-powered artist to debut on a Billboard
airplay chart, but she likely won’t be the last
Billboard is an American weekly music magazine. It publishes music charts
that rank the popularity of songs and albums across different genres, including
The Billboard Hot 100. Its rankings are based on sales, online streaming, and
radio airplay in the USA. According to the publisher, at least six AI or
AI-assisted artists have debuted on various Billboard rankings in the past few
months, and an AI singer called Xania Monet is the first known AI artist on a
Billboard radio chart. She was designed by a poet who writes the lyrics and
sings them with help from a generative AI music creation program. She signed a
multimillion-dollar deal with a music company and released an album and a
seven-track EP this summer. Those who have listened to her singing might not
have realized she is an AI-powered singer. Indeed, with anonymous and
mysterious origins, who or how much is powered by AI is becoming hard to tell.
Read the article and learn about the new AI singer who is on a
Billboard chart.
