A Fake Singer Just Took 11 Spots on the iTunes Top 100. The Platforms Did Nothing.

A fabricated singer named Eddie Dalton recently dominated 11 spots on the iTunes Top 100. 11 unique songs on the chart at the same exact time. The singer, if you can even call him that, has a name: Eddie Dalton. He sings music in the genre of the blues and soul, and has records released that are part of the album "The Years Between." His songs have reached the charts in multiple countries: the US, UK, Australia, Germany, Canada, and the Netherlands. Also, Eddie Dalton isn't real. One Person. Multiple Fake Artists. Dozens of Charting Songs. His voice, his music, his music videos — everything about Eddie Dalton is generated by AI. None of these things are products of human creation. The man behind Eddie Dalton is Dallas Ray Little, who operates a content farm in Greenville, South Carolina, under a label called Crusty Records. It's not just Eddie Dalton. Little also runs Cody Crotchburn, Cade Winslow, and a gospel singer named Solomon Ray who topped iTunes charts back in late 2025. All ha
