# ARIA blocks AI-generated recordings from Australia's official charts

_Legal · published 2026-08-26_

Australia's Recording Industry Association (ARIA) has updated its Charts Code of Practice to explicitly exclude AI-generated recordings from eligibility on Australia's official music charts. The change takes effect from the chart dated August 31, published on August 28.

The move marks one of the first formal steps by a national charts body to draw a hard line between human-made and AI-generated music, with potential implications for how chart eligibility rules evolve globally as AI music tools become more widely adopted.
