quick_read: On August 25, 2026, Australia's music industry implemented a ban on AI-generated tracks from its official charts, establishing that tracks can be eligible only if humans wrote the song and performed the lead vocal and primary instruments, among other requirements.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0885 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.
