Xania Monet is the first AI-powered artist to make it onto a Billboard airplay chart. This is a big step forward in the AI music revolution. Monet has hit the Billboard charts many times since her first songs came out in the summer of 2025. “Let Go, Let God” was a hit on Hot Gospel Songs and “How Was I Supposed to Know” was a hit on Hot R&B Songs. Her unique style of music has attracted a lot of fans, and she has more than 146,000 followers on Instagram.
Recently, Monet signed a record deal worth millions of dollars with Hallwood Media after a very competitive bidding war. This shows how AI vocalists are becoming more and more important in the music business. The AI music creation software Suno helped poet Telisha Jones make Monet’s unique sound, which is described as smooth, soulful, and human-like.
There has been a lot of talk in the music world about Monet’s rise. Romel Murphy, her manager, says that AI artists are not meant to take the place of human singers or songwriters. However, the debate about AI’s place in music is getting more heated. Billboard says that at least six artists who used AI have recently made it onto different charts. These artists come from a wide range of genres, including gospel, rock, and country.
There are mixed reactions to the rise of AI musicians. Some established artists, like Kehlani, are worried about Monet’s multimillion-dollar deal, saying it raises questions about the future of human creativity and control over art.
Even though there is a lot of debate about it, supporters say that AI music is the next big thing in the music business, similar to the lasting legacies of great artists like Michael Jackson and Prince. The goal is still to stay true to the original while also accepting new technology as the industry changes.
