AI Slop FM: Blind Test for AI Music

PR Campaign
Tuesday 27th October, 2026

Welsh music enthusiast Mike Chaffin created AI Slop FM, an internet radio station that plays AI-generated and human-made tracks without identifying which is which. Listeners rate the music on its merits, turning the station into a live blind test of whether people dislike AI music itself or simply the label.

Why it worked: It framed a hot AI culture war as a live, blind A/B test with public scores, creating timely, data-led jeopardy and quotable outcomes.

The lesson: Consider staging a live blind comparison with real-time public scoring to cut through bias and generate headline-friendly results.

FAQs

What is this?

Every day, brands launch PR campaigns and the media covers them. We scan lots of different news sources and use AI to spot the campaigns behind the stories, and show you which ones are getting the most traction right now. Think of it as a live leaderboard of what's working in PR.

Where does the data come from?

Finchling is a news monitoring tool that analyses lots of news from across the internet.

Does this track sponsored posts, or is it earned media only?

It's built to only track earned media - we use AI to filter out anything that we think is a sponsored placement.

What does "ranked by coverage" mean?

It's ranked by the volume of coverage that talks positively about the campaign. We count the outlets covering it, then give a boost to campaigns whose coverage is positive, and those with negative coverage drop down. We're not weighting by outlet size or reach.

Why isn't my campaign listed?

If you've launched a PR campaign recently and it's not included in here, and you think it should be - drop us a note and we'll investigate.
