Australia's Top Music Charts Ban AI Songs
The new code allows AI-assisted recordings to chart if they are substantially human-made and free of stream or chart manipulation concerns, ARIA said.
- Starting this Friday, The Australian Recording Industry Association will exclude wholly AI-generated songs from its official charts under updated Charts Code rules designed to distinguish human-created recordings from material produced entirely by artificial intelligence.
- ARIA's move follows principles published in July by The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry , with more than 20 official chart programs globally adopting similar rules to prevent wholly AI-generated material from dominating charts.
- Scrutiny intensified after Queensland producer Josh Fawaz's cover of Madonna's 'Like A Prayer' reached number four on ARIA charts in July; Fawaz later updated Spotify to confirm AI-generated vocals and drums.
- ARIA chief executive Annabelle Herd stated that rewarding unlicensed AI-generated output would 'undercut the very basis of the recorded music we exist to present,' though AI-assisted tracks remain eligible if 'substantially human-made.'
- Australian band Peking Duk supported the ban, claiming AI-generated music is 'removing the human experience from life,' while the federal government develops new rules including 'strong copyright protections for Australian creators.

The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) has decided it won’t list AI-generated music on its charts of best-selling music. The decision comes into effect this week and follows two interesting musical moments of note. One came when an AI-assisted cover version of Madonna’s Like a Prayer hit the top ten in Australia, stirring debate about whether using AI to make music is an off-key creative decision. The other was the International Fe…
