    According to another article , the only requirement to reaching that position is selling 3,000 copies. It was basically a PR stunt and it worked, since headlines are gobbling it up and spreading the “artist”'s name all over the place.

      Thank you! I made a similar comment elsewhere. This was a chart for sales, and because generative AI can’t even be copyrighted there is no reason to purchase it. This has publicity stunt written all over it.
