Chart Topper Sessions
Write, record and release an original song and music video, no musical talent needed.
About
Chart Topper Sessions turns your team into a record label with one mission: write, record and release an original song in just two to three hours. With the help of AI music tools, every team creates its own track and music video from scratch, and no musical talent is required.
The session opens with a short video on how music has been made through the ages. Teams then split into two groups: one writes the lyrics, while the other learns to shoot and edit a music video using step-by-step guides on their phones.
Back together, teams work with an AI music assistant to try out different genres, moods and styles, then pick their favourite from up to ten generated versions. They film and edit the video and submit it for the big premiere.
Every video plays on screen and everyone votes for the winning song. The activity is fully digital, so the energy stays on creating together.
Learning outcomes
Chart Topper Sessions builds teamwork, creativity, communication and project management through the journey of writing a song and producing a music video together. Because no musical talent is needed, everyone can contribute, and quieter team members often surprise their colleagues.
Splitting into lyric and video groups, then bringing the work back together, mirrors real cross-functional projects: each side depends on the other, and clear communication keeps everything on track.
Teams explore modern AI tools and digital platforms to turn ideas into a finished product, from lyrics and beats to filming and editing. The release deadline adds just enough pressure to sharpen problem solving and quick decision-making.
Participants get real hands-on experience with AI in a fun, inspiring setting, and leave with stronger team connections and a fresh view of what they can create together.
