Chart Rankings of Musical Innovation: Top Artists With Authentic Flair and Potential Copycats Dominating the Present Music Industry
In the ever-evolving world of music, the quest for originality is a constant pursuit. Recent studies have delved into the quantitative aspects of originality, using factors such as lyrical match, Shazam fingerprint data, AI music plagiarism detection, and royalties to evaluate the uniqueness of songs and artists.
Despite there being no publicly consolidated ranking of top original artists, some intriguing insights have emerged. For instance, royalties and streaming data suggest that top original artists tend to be those with sustained, high engagement on platforms like Spotify and TikTok, which track listenership and usage extensively. Major labels such as Universal Music Group (UMG), Sony, and Warner see significant streaming demand, with TikTok influencing music demand and royalties.
Shazam fingerprinting, a technology used to identify which artists’ songs are most frequently recognised and sought after by listeners, also offers valuable insights. While exact rankings are not publicly available, artists with high Shazam recognitions typically reflect originality and popularity in discovery metrics.
AI-based plagiarism detection in music is an emerging tool to protect originality, but no comprehensive list of top original artists ranked by AI plagiarism metrics is published. Research is ongoing on AI methods for music genre classification and plagiarism evaluation, but this technology mostly serves legal and rights holders rather than public artist ranking.
Algorithmic streaming data reveals that while listeners access nearly 11,000 artists, concentrated attention gravitates towards a small number of "top artists" with sustained engagement over time. This suggests that originality combined with listener retention drives top rankings in the industry.
Based on the available data, some genres stand out for their originality. Hip hop has been crowned the most original music genre, scoring 100/100 for originality. On the other hand, electronic music has been deemed the least original, scoring 0/100 for originality.
In the individual artist rankings, Zach Bryan has been named the "most original artist" with a score of 73/100. Conversely, The Black Keys have been labeled the biggest rip-off artist/band in the charts with a score of 10/100 for originality.
Interestingly, Beyoncé's song "TEXAS HOLD 'EM" has been singled out for reinventing country music, scoring a perfect 100/100 for originality. "Beautiful Things" by Benson Boone earned 3rd place for most original song, with a unique sound in its category of TikTok songs.
In conclusion, top original artists in the industry are typically those with sustained commercial success, high streaming and Shazam recognitions, and strong rights enforcement, with major label affiliation playing a significant role. However, an integrated public ranking combining lyrical uniqueness, AI plagiarism clearance, fingerprint data, and royalties does not currently exist in accessible sources. For those seeking rankings of original artists by individual metrics, specialized industry reports and platform-specific data would be the best sources.
