Australia's #1 Song Is AI... And It's Linked To George Michael?!

Australia's #1 song on radio right now might not even be real — and somehow George Michael is tangled up in it. ATW, we went down a Reddit rabbit hole about Josh Fawaz, the "DJ/producer" behind the viral cover of Madonna's "Like a Prayer" that's sitting at #1 on the ARIA airplay chart. Except the vocals sound suspiciously AI-generated, the credits are a mess, and one of the names attached to the track is Fadi Fawaz — yes, THAT Fadi Fawaz, George Michael's ex-boyfriend who found his body on Christmas Day 2016.We dig into the credits, the compression, the TikTok promo that doesn't add up, the music expert who called it out, and how Josh and Fadi are actually related. Is this AI music? Is it legal for it to count as an "Australian" track on radio? We have thoughts, Daddy has receipts, and we are not letting this one go.🔔 Subscribe for more pop culture deep dives every week💬 Comment below — do YOU think this is AI?Timestamps below ⬇️#JoshFawaz #AIMusic #LikeAPrayer #GeorgeMichael #FadiFawaz00:00 Australia's #1 song has a wild connection01:07 The Reddit post that started it all01:32 Meet Josh Fawaz — the "DJ" behind the cover02:23 The suspicious stereo track / no multitrack03:45 Josh Fawaz hits #1 on Australian radio05:03 Wait... why do we know the name "Fadi Fawaz"?06:51 Fadi credited as synth player AND producer07:21 Confirmed: Fadi and Josh are related (uncle/nephew)09:39 Who is Fadi Fawaz?
