I had a discussion with someone in my building a while ago. The topic was AI and music, and at the end AI and the charts. To cut a long story short, it ended with me telling him that artists can hardly make a living from online chats, and even worse, if they do, some idiot comes along and places a song in the same genre as this real artist. Where's the quality in that? He replied that if a real artist has something available, not just any idiot can steal their thunder. I answer this with: Sure? Cause there is no real monitoring and control of the content at most ressourrces as eg. "Banks" they are (most lol) state-controlled to ensure the stability of the financial system, you won't find this here...finally I retorted: Ok let us try have some fun, without risc or blame for you: Let me be the idiot on HeartThis, on their official charts! Okay, HeartThis isn't Spotify, but it's used by tens of thousands of people, and I promise you I'll have a spot there tonight, and that thousands of other people won't have it too! I'll be with you later and we'll upload what I produced and then wait for a placement (As I left I also said that i thought it would work 75% of the time since I've never tried it, so no 100% promise)"
I produced a German ballad at home (50% AI, 50% DAW job) about a truly remarkable person, ME (lol). All I had to do was translate the formula in my head into an audio track (for example, the usual structure like intro, bridge, etc., but mainly the overall mood (lovable, dreamy, interesting, and much more, including the dramatic arc of the elevator going up and the escalator going down). And to keep my promise, everything in the song ends in an audible catastrophe (kind of like the ending in American Psycho, or: one person wishes you a nice day, and the other IMMEDIATELY throws a circular saw in your face and, as if nothing had happened, asks the tobacconist if he has Marlboro cigarettes...) When the ballad was finished, in my opinion, I did one last trick: I gave it an expressive and pseudo-elitist song title in Italian Laguage, also if the Ballad is in German (With a crazy content, just translate if wanted):
("The Ballad of Little ME")
Then i WAIT, nothing happens but after more or less 11 MINUTES
i get a Message that i've earned 200 Points and Gratulations because that Track has
!placed at Folk Charts!
15 hours later a new Message that it has placed at 5 from 9
so i send my friend a Picture with Mail content:
THIS BALLAD IS STILL (JAN 2026) PLACED AT #9 - SINCE 10-MAY-2025
Now I knew: It's far more insane than I'd suspected, so I quickly upped another one (Of course, it was about ME (who nobody knows) again , and to really push the envelope, I called it "About Me - Short Mix" which (WARNING) has a playing time of 41 minutes:
ABOUT mE BY RANK AKA TRACER
Click the Picture (hearthis) or use the Player
This Track and: Music Sounds better with me (Mad Honour RMX) (Both produced 50% me 50% AI) are the only one' who was placed and some later fade out of the Charts at Hear this! But ANY other is sinced re-leased STILL Placed! So now to the ones that really counts cause they wont let go from charts...
NOW TO THOSE ANY OTHERS
I'll start with an unintentional "accident" - I spontaneously made a chill-out mix for a user, (to relax) which,immediately placed and is still ranked (19th place at Downtempo): Mix-Set for Lois Lane - A DayDream Diary
MADNESS THAT STILL PLACED & WONT LET GO AWAY
I thought right and also know since then: That's a FACT and dont happens because i'm a fantastic Musicion \ Artist it's possible for everyone who has at least minimal producing basic knowledge and a maximum of DUMBNESS inside his Heart lol
TRY IT !
happy producing, cheers TRACER
