# Country Music Has a New Fake Crossover Pop Star: Fictional “River Cain,” AI, Suddenly Has Five Hit Singles and an Album on Charts > Source: > Published: 2026-08-16 05:47:32+00:00 [★ Make Showbiz411 your Preferred Source on Google](https://www.google.com/preferences/source?q=showbiz411.com) River Cain is the latest fake singer to infiltrate iTunes. The AI created country singer has five singles on the iTunes chart including “Hell Out of Me” at number 3, and “Mama’s Boy” at number 4. He also has an album on that chart at number 55, and one coming September 4th. The music was released in December, according to one entry, or this past April but has suddenly started its climb. Whoever invented River Cain, his songs, picture, and publicity is gaming iTunes. They’re also working YouTube, where 12 videos are lodged under River Cain. The inventor of this also has made fake videos on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/itsrivercain/?hl=en) as if “River Cain” appeared on singing competitions. This has generated all kinds of links on the internet– and again they are all FAKE. River Cain follows a slew of fake artists who’ve already wasted chart positions on iTunes this year. It’s unclear who his creator is, or if he’s also from the world of Dallas Ray Little, who invented [Eddie Dalton](https://www.showbiz411.com/2026/03/28/exclusive-fake-ai-singer-eddie-dalton-has-sold-over-13000-records-and-had-525k-streams-in-one-week), a fake R&B singer from whole cloth. Country radio stations take note. River Cain will not be doing in-studio appearances unless his so called label, Storm Records, sends an actor. We are living in a weird time.
