An AI-generated artist has climbed to the top of the iTunes charts, with IngaRose’s track Celebrate Me reaching No. 1 globally.
Apple Music lists the single as a March 31, 2026, release under Myers Music, while chart trackers showed it sitting at No. 1 on the US & Global iTunes charts on April 17.
IngaRose is not believed to be a real performer. Reporting around the account has linked the project to the recent wave of AI-generated “artists” appearing across iTunes, with Showbiz411 attributing IngaRose and other similar acts to South Carolina producer Dallas Little.

The same report also pointed to IngaRose’s Instagram bio, which says the songs use “Human-written lyrics” and are “refined using Suno,” an AI music platform.
