AIPopDB, the record of AI-made culture

So Hollow is a song credited to Let Babylon Burn, first released as a single on 26 March 2026; the recording on Spotify comes from the compilation Best of Let Babylon Burn, released on 23 April 2026 with Let Babylon Burn Records on its rights line. The act's own YouTube upload describes it as a stripped-back acoustic ballad about loss, grief, love and the ache of letting go, performed in an unplugged, live-style arrangement of one voice, a guitar and soft strings. By the act's account it began as a quiet track and became one of the most shared songs on its channel, turning up on viral playlists; that upload had passed 37 million views when it was read on 1 October 2026. The Spotify recording runs 5 minutes 59 seconds. Deezer marks the release as AI-generated content, saying it includes tracks detected as generated with the use of AI.

"LET ME BE" is a single by The Second Voice, an anonymous, mask-wearing artist from Zambia whose music Music Ally describes as a blend of Afro-house and Amapiano. According to Music Ally, he wrote the demo, melody and lyrics himself on an old laptop, and AI was used for the female vocals and the final production, which the label put down to a shortage of studios and session singers in Zambia. World Music Views describes the track as the work of a faceless Zambian creator using AI vocals. Spotify dates the single 25 January 2026; Spinnin' Records, a Warner Music subsidiary, signed it after early traction on TikTok and YouTube. The song held No. 1 on Billboard's U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart for a sixth straight week on the chart dated 13 June 2026, its 15th week on that chart, and had earlier topped Shazam's global chart. By then it had passed 47 million Spotify streams, and the track showed more than 89.4 million Spotify plays as of 30 September 2026. Spinnin' told Music Ally it disclosed the AI involvement to streaming services, radio and partners from the start. Radio in Germany, France and the Netherlands took it up, while UK radio and Deezer pushed back or dropped it from playlists once the AI use was known. The label went on to shoot an official video in Zambia and to prepare a masked live show.

The Cully Hill Boys is an action comedy set in South-East London in 2011, about three underachieving rappers who accidentally get caught in a messy drug war. Cal, Horace and Oli play to empty rooms and answer to the crime boss who owns their venue, and none of them has any way of standing out. Cal's idea for a music video shot from a boat turned hot tub sets the trouble moving. The dinghy they borrow from Horace's uncle turns out to hold two million pounds of drug money, and the boss's men, a hitman and the money's real owner all come after them. The comic scrapes that follow give way to shootouts and fights. Higgsfield describes it as a fast, funny, beat-driven crime movie about loyalty, friendship and refusing to stay invisible. Rap runs through it, and The Verge heard the Edgar Wright and Guy Ritchie references in its style. Cal is played by Matt Kiatipis, Oli by Israel Adesanya, Horace by N3on and Tobin by Quinton "Rampage" Jackson.

Four street thieves, Roco, Lulu, Jax and Rein, pull off what should be an ordinary museum heist. Roco is the crew's leader and mastermind, Lulu its stealth specialist, Jax the explosives expert and Rein the tech prodigy who hacks the systems that keep them from being caught. When Roco sets off an ancient artifact, it opens a portal to the underworld and gives the crew powers they did not ask for. A bone-armoured demon drags Lulu through the portal, and what follows is a rescue that turns into a hunt. A demon-hunting organisation offers to help get her back, but only if the crew first finds the remaining artifacts. The search takes them from a Tibetan temple to feudal Japan and beyond, with hordes of demons in the way and an ancient evil behind them. Roco and Lulu share a deep bond, and the story is as much his as the crew's. His fight to save her becomes a dark exploration of grief, and as the cost mounts he comes closer to losing himself and crosses lines his friends cannot follow. The tone is a loud, fast action-fantasy, built from chases, fights and monsters, with the human story running through it.

ODYSSEUS: The Fall is a feature-length retelling of Homer's Odyssey. The press release says it approaches the story "in all its depth and epic glory", and writer-director Ash Koosha has said it keeps to Homer's text. Where the poem is ambiguous, the film fills the gap with Koosha's own interpretation of Odysseus the man, and Koosha plays the title role himself. Named characters in the release include Eurylochus and Mentor. The pages give no scene-by-scene plot, so this account stops at the premise and its characters.
