Overview
- Billboard’s Country Digital Song Sales chart lists Breaking Rust’s “Walk My Walk” at No. 1 for a second week, extending its run that began with the Nov. 8 chart.
- The act is widely reported as an AI creation tied to songwriter Aubierre Rivaldo Taylor via Spotify credits, though the profiles do not disclose AI use and the precise role of AI remains uncertain.
- Luminate data indicates roughly 2,500 downloads were enough to claim the top spot, highlighting how small sales volumes can produce outsized chart headlines.
- Despite millions of streams and sizable monthly listeners, the track is largely absent from core country streaming rankings, even as it surged on Spotify’s Viral 50 after widespread coverage.
- A Deezer study estimates about 50,000 AI-generated tracks are uploaded daily, while Spotify cites tougher AI/spam enforcement and mass removals as artists and fraud watchdogs press for clearer labeling and anti-manipulation safeguards.
