Partly AI-generated folk-pop hit barred from Sweden’s official charts

Song that topped Swedish Spotify rankings ruled ineligible after elements of song revealed to be partly AI-made

A hit song has been excluded from Sweden’s official chart after it emerged the “artist” behind it was an AI creation.

I Know, You’re Not Mine – or Jag Vet, Du Är Inte Min in Swedish – by a singer called Jacub has been a streaming success in Sweden, topping the Spotify rankings.

However, the Swedish music trade body has excluded the song from the official chart after learning it was AI-generated.

“Jacub’s track has been excluded from Sweden’s official chart, Sverigetopplistan, which is compiled by IFPI Sweden. While the song appears on Spotify’s own charts, it does not qualify for inclusion on the official chart under the current rules,” said an IFPI Sweden spokesperson.
