AI-Generated Track 'Celebrate Me' Tops Global iTunes Chart

AI-generated R&B song 'Celebrate Me' by virtual artist IngaRose has climbed to number one on the global iTunes chart, outpacing every other record in downloads and purchases this week. This milestone follows a series of AI hits in 2025, including gospel-style single 'Let Go, Let God' by Xania Monet and country tune 'Living on Borrowed Time' from Breaking Rust. Those successes led to record deals worth millions and fierce debate among human artists over AI’s impact on music careers. Major labels Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment have all sealed licensing agreements with AI music startups. Even in Nigeria, an AI remix of Fave’s 'Intentions' went viral and was officially rereleased in collaboration with the singer. Later this year, Apple Music will require AI-generated tracks to carry a clear tag to help listeners tell them apart from human-made songs.
