Resolution explanation:

A significant portion of the most recent song released by twenty one pilots "the contract" was edited using AI music software.

Market Question:
By the end of 2025, will any AI-generated song officially chart in the Billboard Top 100 in the U.S.?

Conditions for Resolution:

1. Definition of “AI-generated song”:

   • A song where 50% or more of the audio content (melody, lyrics, instrumentation, or vocals) is generated or significantly assisted by an AI system.

   • Minor use of AI tools for mastering, mixing, or auto-tuning does not count unless the creative content itself is AI-assisted.

2. Definition of “officially chart”:

   • Appears on Billboard’s official Hot 100 chart in any week between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2025.

   • Excludes unofficial or fan-generated charts.

3. Artist/Release Requirements:

   • The song must be publicly released through recognized platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, etc.).

   • Any promotional or label involvement is allowed; self-released songs count.

4. Verification:

   • Billboard or a credible news source must explicitly mention that the song is AI-generated, or the artist must publicly acknowledge the AI contribution.

5. Edge Cases:

   • Remixes of previously human-written songs only count if the AI contributed major melodic or lyrical changes.

   • Songs that use AI solely for marketing content (cover art, social media) do not count.
