Answer & solution

Answer: 2413

Step 1 — find the opener. Sentence 2 is the only one that names its subject in full: “Three of Sienna Rose’s jazz-infused soul songs”. Every other sentence depends on her already being introduced — “her albums” in 1, “The most popular” in 4, “Look closer” in 3.

Step 2 — follow the superlative. Sentence 4 begins “The most popular”, which must refer to the three songs just mentioned. So 2\to 4.

Step 3 — introduce the twist. Sentence 1 opens with “But” and reverses the picture: the songs are flagged as computer generated. A contrast must follow what it contradicts, namely the success described in 2 and 4.

Step 4 — close with the evidence. Sentence 3 says “Look closer and you’ll see the indications of an AI artist” — this only makes sense once the AI suspicion has been raised in 1, and it supplies the supporting detail.

Step 5 — the sequence.

2\to 4\to 1\to 3

Answer: 2413

Shortcut. Only one sentence contains a full name rather than a pronoun — that is your opener. Then the mandatory pair is 2\to 4 (“Three songs” → “The most popular”), and “But” in 1 cannot come first. The order falls out with almost no reading.
