An AI Country Song Just Hit Number One on Billboard, and the ...

Breaking Rust's AI-created single 'Walk My Walk' is the first AI song to top Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales chart, sparking debate on AI's role in music.

  • On Nov. 15, Breaking Rust's 'Walk My Walk' reached No. 1 on Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales chart, marking the first AI-created country digital chart-topper and spending its second week on the list.
  • The songs are credited to Aubierre Rivaldo Taylor, an obscure figure linked to Defbeatsai, while Breaking Rust debuted mid-October on Instagram with over 37,000 followers.
  • For the tracking week ending Nov. 6, 'Walk My Walk' sold more than 2,000 copies and has over 3 million Spotify streams, compared to Taylor Swift's 'The Fate of Ophelia' at 29,000 copies.
  • Top artists and industry figures have publicly urged tighter rules on AI music, with lawmakers proposing the TRAIN Act and terrestrial country radio avoiding AI tracks due to listener backlash.
  • Several recent AI acts have charted, signaling a trend as industry observers call it a wake-up call but not an existential threat, citing long-term fan loyalty's role, Billboard noted earlier this month.
