Meet Oleksandr Riabchuk.
He’s sitting somewhere in Ukraine making fake songs from AI and pushing them up iTunes.
He uses the name “Bob Dominator.”
“Bob” has the number 6 song right now called, “In My Soul,” which ironic since it has no soul. It’s from a machine.
Bob Dominator isn’t alone. Unmarked AI songs on iTunes are like a cancer and spreading fast. Other “artists” include River Cain, Still Heals, Imael Angel — who also is being used by real life DJ Hugel for his hit, KimoSounds, Rulo Soul, Dust and Harmony, and more.
The record companies have only themselves to blame for this situation. AI releases now take up a third of iTunes top 100. Another third is oldies. The labels have so little output and do so little marketing of new acts, that the chart — and radio — are gridlocked.
As for Riabchuk, he’s getting the last laugh making dozens of these AI “hits” and pawning them off as real. See his Facebook page.
