Hi Spike

It is very likely the song is AI-generated.
AI songs have reached top ten lists for some years now.
See below.

Perplexity AI -

Yes — AI-generated songs have reached top‑ten positions on several official
and dedicated charts.
Key examples

   -

   *Australia (ARIA Singles Chart):* An AI cover of Madonna’s *Like a
   Prayer* by Josh Fawaz peaked at *No. 2* and spent *16 weeks in the top
   10* before ARIA announced a ban on “substantially AI‑made” tracks from
   its charts.
   -

   *Billboard genre charts (US):* Breaking Rust’s fully AI‑generated
   country song *“Walk My Walk”* hit *No. 1* on Billboard’s *Country
   Digital Song Sales* chart in November 2025, and the act also appeared in
   Spotify’s Viral 50.
   -

   *iTunes charts (multiple countries):* IngaRose’s AI‑generated
single *“Celebrate
   Me”* (made with Suno) reached *No. 1* on the US iTunes chart and several
   other national iTunes charts in April 2026, with multiple IngaRose tracks
   in the top 100.
   -

   *Dedicated AI charts:* Services like *SIQA* and *AiMCharts* publish
   weekly “Top 10/Top 100 AI Songs” lists; for example, the SIQA Top 100 AI
   Songs for the week of 1 September 2026 includes titles such as *Let Me
   Be*, *RUBBERZ*, and *GG EZ* in its top three.

Context

   -

   Some mainstream charts now distinguish between *AI‑assisted* (human lead
   vocals/lyrics/instruments) and *substantially AI‑generated* tracks.
   ARIA’s 2026 rule change explicitly allows the former but bars the latter
   from topping its charts.
   -

   Billboard has allowed AI acts on certain genre and sales/airplay charts
   (e.g., country, R&B, gospel), though there have been controversies and at
   least one reported case where an AI track predicted to enter the *Hot
   100* was withheld amid legal disputes.
