This looks like a great way to launder money.

Write some generic AI music, have have your small accounts using stolen giftcards bought with dirty money pump the track and watch it climb the charts as other jump on the band wagon.

Et voilà instant layering with no connections.

I'm pretty sure this is exactly how all the music I don't like gets into the charts. :P

You saying it like there are no other easy ways to launder money. Every time I walk by a cleaning service or hairdresser in a less dense populated area I wonder if they are involved in money launderinng.
