Resolution Criteria
This market resolves to Yes if, on or before December 31, 2030, a song that is primarily composed and performed by artificial intelligence reaches the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for at least one weekly ranking.
To count, the song must satisfy both of the following:
- It appears at #1 on Billboard’s official Hot 100 chart, published at www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100.
- It is publicly and credibly described as primarily AI-generated, meaning:
- The lyrics, melody, instrumental composition, and lead vocals are predominantly generated by an AI system.
- There is no human performing the lead vocals, and no human artist is credited as the principal songwriter or composer.
- Human involvement is limited to non-creative functions, such as prompting the AI, mixing, mastering, or editing.
Songs that are only AI-assisted (e.g., AI-generated lyrics with human vocals, or AI instrumentals with human vocals), or where a human is credited as the main performing artist or composer, do not count.
The AI-generated nature of the song must be publicly confirmed by Billboard, major music publications (e.g. Rolling Stone, Variety, Pitchfork), the creators, or reputable news organizations. At least two credible, independent sources are required for confirmation. If no qualifying song reaches #1 by the end of 2030, the market resolves to No.
