I’ve told you a lot about “Eddie Dalton.”
He’s an AI construct, a fake singer who doesn’t exist.
But “Eddie” has the number 1 single on iTunes, called “Another Day Old.” It’s been lodged at the top for almost a week.
Two other “Dalton” singles have been in the top three. Now a fourth one has joined them called “Stay a Little Longer.”
Are fans really downloading these singles by an unknown non-human? I’m beginning to wonder if iTunes isn’t being conned. None of these songs have any traction from streaming at all. They only exist on iTunes.
On YouTube there are a lot of views. Again, what does that really mean?
As I also told you, this is all the brainchild of Dallas Little, a mysterious content creator/possible musician who’s down in Greenville, South Carolina. He owns a company called Crunchy Records, and is producing a ton of AI music and videos under different fictional artists’ names.
The day we hear one of these songs on the radio we’ll take this seriously.
