aceThe major labels propose rules to keep AI slop off the charts
The major labels have proposed rules that would keep most AI music off the charts unless it was ‘substantially human-made.’
Major labels proposed chart rules that would keep most AI music off the charts unless substantially human-made, protecting human artists from AI slop.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0607 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
