Deezer: 44% of daily uploads now AI-generated music
AI-generated music is now far from a marginal phenomenon and as daily deliveries keep increasing, we hope the whole music ecosystem will join us.
Deezer reported that AI-generated tracks now make up 44% of all new music uploaded to its platform, roughly 75,000 tracks per day. That's up from 10,000 daily in January 2025, when the company launched its AI detection tool. Consumption remains low at 1-3% of total streams, and 85% of those streams are flagged as fraudulent and demonetised. Deezer automatically excludes AI tracks from algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists, and will no longer store hi-res versions. The announcement follows an AI track topping iTunes charts in five countries last week. A November survey found 97% of listeners couldn't distinguish AI music from human-made tracks, and 80% wanted clear labelling. This matters because streaming fraud is scaling faster than platforms anticipated.
