AI-assisted music can still qualify, but tracks created entirely by AI are no longer eligible for Australia’s official charts.
I understand the reasoning, but the line could get messy. Using AI for mastering is clearly different from typing one prompt and releasing the result—but there’s a huge gray area between those two.
Should charts judge how a song was created, or only whether people genuinely want to listen to it?
