Deezer says AI music hits 44% of uploads
Deezer reported that nearly 75,000 fully AI-generated tracks are now uploaded to its platform every day, accounting for about 44% of all daily music deliveries. The company says only 1-3% of streams on Deezer come from these tracks, and roughly 85% of those streams are detected as fraudulent and demonetized. Deezer says it is continuing to tag AI music, remove it from recommendations, and license its detection technology to the wider industry.
Deezer is turning its AI-music detection work into both a product stance and a business wedge: the catalog is getting flooded, but the consumption share is still tiny, which supports its argument that most of this content is spam/fraud rather than listener demand.
- –The 44% figure is the headline, but the more important metric is that AI tracks are only 1-3% of streams.
- –Deezer is positioning itself as the transparency leader by tagging AI music and excluding it from recommendations and editorial playlists.
- –The licensing angle matters: this is no longer just content moderation, it's infrastructure for other platforms.
- –The story is also a policy signal for the streaming industry, where AI-generated supply is growing faster than governance.
