Chart toppers are mostly made by the labels. Sure the musicians/performers make the music, but the companies with the plarform/connections are the ones that push things to that level.

I see this going 1 of 2 ways. The big wigs cut out the musicians for more money by using AI. Or, they suppress AI content because they don't like the business model (people don't just listen to the music, they tend to be more interested in the human element, eg concerts or royalties in other media are where the money is made).
