Deezer: больше 50% ежедневных загрузок музыки создано ИИ — 90 000 треков в сутки

French streaming service Deezer announced on July 21, 2026, that more than 50% of the tracks uploaded to the platform every day are fully generated by artificial intelligence. According to the company's data for June 2026, that amounts to over 90,000 tracks per day, TechCrunch reports.

How much AI music is uploaded to Deezer

More than 90,000 fully AI-generated tracks arrived on Deezer every day in June 2026 — more than half of all daily uploads. These are compositions created entirely by neural networks: they are identified by Deezer's proprietary detector, which has been running since January 2025. The pace is accelerating: back in April 2025 the platform recorded about 20,000 synthetic tracks per day; now it is more than 90,000.

• Over 90,000 AI tracks per day — Deezer's data for June 2026
• More than 50% of all daily uploads to the platform are fully synthetic music
• In January 2025, AI accounted for about 10% of uploads
• In April 2025 — 18%; by September 2025 — already 28%
• The detector recognizes tracks from popular generators, including Suno and Udio

Why the share grew so fast

In a year and a half, the share of AI music in Deezer uploads grew fivefold: from roughly 10% in January 2025 to more than 50% by June 2026. Generators like Suno and Udio assemble a finished track from a text description in minutes, so the barrier to entry for streaming has dropped to virtually zero: uploading a hundred synthetic albums is now easier than recording a single real song.

Deezer remains the only major streaming service that regularly publishes such statistics. Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music do not disclose their data on synthetic content, although the problem affects the entire industry: back in June 2024, the RIAA, on behalf of the major labels, filed lawsuits against Suno and Udio for training models on copyrighted music.

What Deezer does with AI tracks

Deezer does not delete generated music — it labels it and excludes it from recommendations. Since June 2025, fully AI albums have received a special tag in the interface and are kept out of editorial playlists and algorithmic recommendations. According to the company, up to 70% of plays of fully synthetic tracks turn out to be fraudulent — bots inflate them for royalties, and Deezer demonetizes such streams. The economic motive behind the fraud is direct: royalties are distributed from a shared pool of plays, and every bot stream reduces payouts to real artists.

"AI-generated content continues to flood streaming platforms, and we see no signs of it slowing down," —

Alexis Lanternier, CEO of Deezer, in a company statement.

What it means

The 50% threshold moves AI music from the realm of curiosities into a structural feature of streaming: the question is no longer "how do we stop it" but "how do we label it and split royalties fairly." Deezer's approach — detection, labeling, and demonetization of fraud instead of blanket bans — will most likely become the benchmark for other platforms. For musicians and labels it is a signal: the competition for listeners' attention is now waged not only with peers but also with an endless stream of synthetic content.
