Official board
ARIA went first. Follows IFPI principles. Wholly AI-generated is not eligible. AI-assisted can be, if it is substantially human made and there is no chart manipulation.
Wanna plai?
Will your AI track ever hit a real chart?
Sep 14, 2026. Substantially human made. No farms.
The gate
A chart is not a store. Delivery is not a ranking.
ARIA did not ban AI music. It barred wholly AI-generated recordings from official ARIA Charts and Awards from the chart dated 31 Aug 2026. We still send Fully AI even if a store will not pay. That does not put the recording on an official board.
AI-native board
SIQA ranks the week for AI songs. Named acts with a face and a split sheet show up first. Method is SIQA’s. We added play so you can hear it.
The test
Lead vocal generated by AI sits in the official “not eligible” bucket. Same for a key instrumental performance generated by AI. Human lead with AI backing can stay eligible.
How to not fool yourself
- Substantially human made. Humans wrote it. Humans performed the lead vocal and the primary instruments. AI as a tool can stay eligible on official boards.
- No stream farms. No purchased plays. Boosts on PLAIGROUND are real campaigns, not bot buys. Charts ignore fake activity. Stores can too.
- Tell us what a human did. The field on upload is what we send. Lie there and you do not have a chart argument later.
- SIQA is the parallel scoreboard. Named acts with a face and a split sheet get first-mover advantage. Faceless spam does not.
- An ARIA ineligibility is a chart gate. It is not a ban on distribution. Two different rooms.
- You do not pitch all day. We curate and email. You push a button.
Pick the board that matches the recording. Do not fake the field to sneak onto the other one.
For artists who’d rather be making the next one than reading a distribution agreement.
