Walk My Walk

Walk My Walk is the country single by the AI-generated act Breaking Rust that reached number 1 on Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales chart in November 2025, which Newsweek and Hypebeast reported as the first time an AI-created country song had topped a Billboard sales chart. It was released on 17 October 2025 on the Resilient EP with a ℗ line in the act's own name, and its songwriting credit goes to Aubierre Rivaldo Taylor, a name Hypebeast connected to the Def Beats AI project; the act itself does not state that it uses AI, but there is no credited human singer and the imagery is AI-made cowboy art. Both outlets noted that the chart counts paid downloads rather than streams, and Newsweek quoted a music technology academic who heard heavily processed production behind the stomp-clap arrangement. In December 2025 Music Business Worldwide reported that the track had briefly disappeared from Spotify after an impersonation claim, apparently filed by independent country artist Bryan Elijah Smith, who accused the act of copying his music, style and image; Spotify confirmed the removal and reinstatement. Grammy-nominated rapper Blanco Brown separately said the song imitates his vocal style, and an Associated Press investigation linked the credited songwriter to a former Brown collaborator. MBW counted over 7 million Spotify streams at the time; by 29 September 2026 the track showed about 29.4 million plays, and the official lyric video on the act's YouTube channel had 714,000 views.
