Chart-toppers in Spain are no longer dominated solely by flesh-and-blood artists. Ruby Black, a synthetic singer created by artificial intelligence, has climbed to the number one spot on Spotify's Top 50 Viral. The label Silencio Capital releases a new single every Thursday, with covers and music videos also generated by AI. This phenomenon reflects a chain production of cheap music, with no ties to real creators, which is saturating platforms.
The tsunami of synthetic tracks that Spotify can't stop 🌊
The numbers are stark. Deezer reports receiving 75,000 AI-generated tracks every day, representing 44% of new content, compared to 10,000 in January 2025. Spotify has already removed over 7.5 million AI songs in the past year, but the problem escalates faster than its filters. The technology allows for complete songs to be produced in minutes, imitating styles and voices without the need for musicians, studios, or conventional copyrights. Traditional record labels watch with concern as the algorithm rewards volume over quality.
The artist of the month who never asks for a raise 🤖
Ruby Black doesn't demand royalties, doesn't show up late for rehearsals, or leave passive-aggressive comments on Instagram. She releases a single every Thursday like someone scheduling an Excel spreadsheet. Meanwhile, human musicians wonder if their next rival will be another indie scene band or an .mp3 file trained on thousands of hours of Bad Bunny. The saddest part: the AI will probably charge less for a tour than a human.
