00:03Songs largely using AI will be banned from Australia's music charts.
00:09The news comes after a controversial AI-assisted version of Madonna's Like a Prayer recently topped the ARIA charts.
00:32In response to the backlash, DJ Josh Fawaz has since updated the song's credits to disclose the use of generative
00:41AI.
00:43ARIA, the Australian Recording Industry Association, says the new code promotes the human nature of artistry.
00:51Recordings that use artificial intelligence in a supportive role remain eligible for the charts.
00:57ARIA has stipulated that humans must have written the song and performed the lead vocal and primary instruments to be
01:06eligible for the Australian Music Charts.
01:08The move follows updated global chart principles from the IFPI in July 2026, which state recordings must be substantially human
01:19-made.
