SIQA Charts exist to highlight and track the Top 100 AI-generated musical works based on aggregated performance and engagement data.
SIQA is an independent charting and cultural insights platform. We are not a streaming service, distributor, label, or music platform. Our chart placements are editorial and informational in nature, designed to reflect trends and performance within the AI music landscape.
AI music includes:
• Fully AI-generated songs
• AI-assisted covers
• AI voice model performances (with permission)
Creators can submit their songs for consideration through SIQA’s submission process. Submitting your work helps us discover new and emerging AI-powered music from across the community.
To be eligible, your song must be publicly released on a supported platform and meet SIQA’s chart eligibility guidelines (see Submission Terms). While submissions are an important part of discovery, chart placement is determined by a combination of performance data and qualifying criteria during the chart period, and is not guaranteed.

Creators are responsible for ensuring their submissions comply with applicable platform terms and policies. SIQA does not adjudicate legal disputes or determine copyright status.
SIQA uses a 50/50 scoring model:
50% Streams and Airplay + 50% Social Impact
Chart Score = (Streams & Airplay × 0.5) + (Social Impact × 0.5)
This ensures balance between listening reach and cultural reach.
SIQA Charts are informed by a combination of aggregated performance signals observed across major music, video, and social platforms.
Rather than relying on a single source, SIQA evaluates multiple categories of audience engagement to reflect how music is actually discovered, shared, and consumed in modern culture.
Listening & Viewing Signals
These signals reflect how widely a song is consumed across major audio and video platforms, such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and other global streaming and official video services.
Social Engagement Signals
These signals reflect how frequently a song is used, shared, and circulated within short-form and social video ecosystems, such as TikTok, and Instagram Reels where music discovery often begins.
Discovery Signals
These signals reflect moments of active listener intent, such as when audiences search for or identify a track using music recognition tools (such as Shazam), after hearing it in the wild.
Analytics & Measurement Tools
SIQA incorporates insights from licensed third-party analytics and industry measurement tools to support data normalization, validation, and trend analysis. SIQA independently evaluates and weighs these signals using a proprietary methodology designed to reflect authentic audience behavior and discourage manipulation.
Every Friday at 9AM PT.

Rules:
• You must be the creator of the submitted performance
• AI voice models must be used with permission

Content that is intended to promote or advocate hate speech, racism, discrimination, or harm toward individuals or groups is not eligible for inclusion on SIQA Charts.

Rankings are determined solely by qualifying data and chart criteria. SIQA does not accept compensation, payments, or incentives of any kind from companies, labels, artists, or creators in exchange for chart consideration or placement.
Chart inclusion does not create a financial relationship, sponsorship, or contractual obligation between SIQA and any artist, creator, or rights holder.
Yes, humans can contribute in any way as long as the final track is AI-generated or AI-assisted.
We use bot detection, anomaly detection, spam filtering, and multi-source verification. See: Anti-Manipulation & Fraud Policy.
If you believe there is a factual metadata error (such as a misspelled name or incorrect link), you may contact SIQA at team@thesiqa.com. SIQA considers reported issues where appropriate as part of our ongoing editorial review.

AI music copyright standards are still evolving. SIQA relies on creator declarations, platform policies, and trusted industry signals when determining chart eligibility.
While we maintain clear eligibility guidelines and copyright boundaries, SIQA does not independently verify or perform exhaustive copyright checks for every song. Creators are responsible for ensuring their work complies with applicable platform terms and policies.
No. SIQA does not host, distribute, or monetize the musical works featured on the charts. Charted songs remain hosted and distributed by their respective platforms.
If a credible concern is raised, SIQA may review available signals, including platform actions and policy outcomes, and take appropriate charting action. This may include removal or adjustment of chart placement in accordance with SIQA’s eligibility guidelines.
