Deezer: 44% of daily music uploads are now AI-generated

2026-04-20 07:07

Deezer reported that AI-generated tracks now make up 44% of all new music uploaded to its platform—roughly 75,000 tracks per day and over 2 million per month—up from 28% in September 2025. Despite the volume, AI music represents only 1–3% of total streams, with 85% of those streams flagged as fraudulent and demonetized by Deezer's proprietary detection system, which has tagged over 13.4 million AI tracks since launch in June 2025. Deezer will no longer store hi-res versions of AI-tagged tracks and removes them from algorithmic recommendations.
