The Australian Recording Industry Association<\/strong> has become the first national chart body to implement eligibility rules for recordings made with generative AI, confirming that wholly AI-generated tracks will be barred from the ARIA Charts.<\/p>\n

\n\tRecordings that use AI in a supporting role remain eligible; tracks generated wholesale by AI do not. The changes take effect from the chart dated Monday, Aug. 31. <\/p>\n

    \n\tTo qualify, a recording must be \u201csubstantially human-made\u201d and raise \u201cno stream or chart manipulation concerns,\u201d with ARIA applying the global music industry\u2019s AI labelling standard, announced July 10, to tell AI-generated recordings from AI-assisted ones. <\/p>\n

    \n\tThe move implements the global principles set by the IFPI and the major labels earlier this year \u2014 ARIA being the first national chart body to adopt them with a firm date.<\/p>\n

    \n\t\u201cArtists already use AI tools in their work, the charts can and should evolve to keep room for that, but music generated wholesale by services built on artists\u2019 recordings is a different matter,\u201d ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd said. She added that \u201ca chart that rewards unlicensed AI output would undercut the very basis of the recorded music we exist to represent,\u201d and urged other decision-makers, \u201cparticularly radio,\u201d to adopt similar codes.<\/p>\n

    \n\tThe rules carry teeth. ARIA can decline to survey an ineligible recording, remove it from the charts, adjust positions, withdraw accreditations, and revoke any ARIA No. 1 Award; ineligible tracks are also barred from the ARIA Awards. Artists can contest exclusions through an updated disputes process.<\/p>\n

    \n\tThe policy arrives as AI-generated music has begun testing the boundaries of chart systems worldwide. The AI country act Breaking Rust reached No. 1 on Billboard\u2019s Country Digital Song Sales chart in 2025, and in April 2026 the AI act IngaRose topped iTunes charts in the U.S. and globally \u2014 cases that focused industry attention on the absence of any chart rules governing AI. <\/p>\n

    \n\tNeither involved detected streaming fraud; both drew on real purchases or organic interest on narrower charts. <\/p>\n

    \n\tARIA said it will keep the code under review as AI policy and technology continue to develop.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
