What is the most popular genre for AI-generated music?

Pop, by a wide margin. Pop alone is 30.9% of the 25,564 AI-generated songs in Solmi's September 2026 platform data, and pop hybrids add roughly another 10 points. The next genre, hip-hop/rap, is under 5%.

How long is the average AI music video?

55 seconds, across 14,500 completed AI music videos in Solmi's 2026 platform data. Widescreen narrative videos average 45 seconds; lyric videos run longest at 79 to 124 seconds. Creators typically render the hook first rather than a full-length video.

Are AI music videos vertical or widescreen?

Mostly widescreen: 74% of AI music videos are rendered 16:9 versus 26% vertical 9:16, per Solmi's 2026 production data. Lyric videos are the exception, with 64% rendered vertical for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

Do AI music video creators generate the song with AI too?

About half do not. 48.7% of tracks behind finished works on Solmi were uploaded by the creator — their own recordings or exports from tools like Suno — while 51.3% were AI-generated on the platform.
