Another boring dystopia:

How many listens pushing this to the top are just curiousity of people listening to the 'AI song'.

I just struggle to care about this as an achievement, it's pure novelty.

"There's no accounting for taste."

From "1984":

"There was a whole chain of separate departments dealing with proletarian literature, music, drama, and entertainment generally. Here were produced rubbishy newspapers containing almost nothing except sport, crime, and astrology, sensational five-cent novelettes, films oozing with sex, and sentimental songs which were composed entirely by mechanical means on a special kind of kaleidoscope known as a versificator."

Honestly, the difference between what we have today and what we had 10-15 years ago (uninspired, repetitive and boring melodies, and lyrics written by 65+ yo Norwegian men to be sung by and marketed to teenage girls) is not that large.

The number one of anything is usually too stupid to notice.

Shows how formulaic pop songs are.

“Celebrate Me,” released by an AI-generated persona IngaRose, currently sits atop the iTunes charts in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Canada and New Zealand.

Five of the top 100 songs on U.S. iTunes as of Friday afternoon are by IngaRose

This just doesn’t seem to be true (anymore anyway). I didn’t see the name a single time scrolling through the Top 100: USA chart. The chart is updated daily; I suppose it’s possible there was manual intervention since Friday?

Just tells me iTunes' charts are easily manipulated & not worth using as a metric for popularity.
