ARIA Bans Fully AI-Generated Songs From Australian Music Charts

Australia's music chart authority, ARIA, has imposed new rules that will exclude songs where artificial intelligence creates the primary creative elements from its rankings. The Australian Recording Industry Association's updated Charts Code of Practice now requires chart-eligible recordings to be "substantially human-made," with humans retaining responsibility for core components like songwriting and key instrumental performances.
This policy change takes effect with the Aug. 31 chart and was prompted by a successful AI-generated cover of Madonna's "Like a Prayer" that climbed to No. 2 on the Australian singles chart. ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd emphasized the need to balance innovation with the preservation of human creativity in music. The new rules require artists using AI to disclose its use in submissions to ARIA's chart survey, and potentially retroactively strip chart positions from ineligible tracks.
