How we built the list

The ranking sums weekly U.S. Spotify chart streams for every track credited to each lead artist, from 28 April 2013 to 17 September 2026, using Kworb’s weekly totals. Streams earned off the chart are excluded and featured artists are undercounted, so treat the rank as a way to choose 500 names rather than a measure of popularity. Evidence was reviewed up to 23 September 2026; positions change, and every row keeps the date of the statement it cites.

On the record: A direct interview, performance, post, signed open letter, or a firsthand comment reported by a reliable outlet. The position describes the specific use of AI the artist was discussing.
No statement found yet: One indexed search for the artist, AI music, interviews and statements turned up nothing the artist said or wrote. We do not treat that as silence, and each of these rows needs a deeper search of the artist’s own channels.
Spoke about AI, not about AI music: The artist addressed AI in another context, such as labeling on a streaming platform, which does not establish a view on generated music.
Not applicable: Artists who died before generative AI music existed are not scored for silence; an estate’s statement belongs to the estate. Fictional acts are listed as charted, and their real singers are assessed separately.
The 2024 artist letter: The Artist Rights Alliance letter opposes exploitative and unlicensed uses of AI and acknowledges responsible ones. Signing it is not a call to ban AI in music.

Photos come from Wikimedia Commons and are used under the license named beside each one: Creative Commons Attribution, Attribution-ShareAlike, CC0 or public domain. We resized them and made no other change. Their appearance here does not mean the photographer or the artist endorses this page. Artists without a freely licensed photo are shown by their initials.

HumanStandard builds detection for AI-generated music, and this list is how we keep track of what the artists themselves are asking for. Check whether a track was generated.
