AI-generated music now accounts for more than half of all tracks uploaded to Deezer each day, according to new figures released by the streaming platform.

Daily uploads reached 90,000 tracks in June 2026, up from 10,000 in January 2025, when AI-generated music represented about 10% of new content on the platform

A Rapid Surge In Synthetic Tracks

Growth has been steady over the past 18 months. The share of AI-generated uploads rose to 18% in April 2025, 28% in September, 34% in November, 39% in January 2026 and 44% in April before surpassing the 50% mark in June.

Platforms Are Taking Different Approaches

No industry-wide standard has emerged for handling AI-generated music, with streaming platforms taking different approaches to synthetic content.

Bandcamp has banned AI-generated tracks, while Tidal has removed monetization from such content. Spotify requires creators to disclose the use of AI in the music creation process, while Apple Music has adopted a voluntary AI-tagging system.

Deezer Targets Fraud And Low-Value Content

Under Deezer’s latest policy, AI-generated tracks that have not been streamed during the past six months or are linked to fraudulent streaming activity will no longer be eligible for monetization.

“Deezer has been at the frontline of fighting fraud and reducing payment dilution related to AI music for almost two years. Now that half of all daily uploads are AI-generated tracks, we are taking additional steps to safeguard the rights of artists and songwriters, while maintaining focus on music that fans actually love,” Chief Executive Alexis Lanternier said in a statement.

Large volumes of AI-generated tracks can distort recommendation systems, dilute royalty distribution and fuel fraudulent streaming, the company said.

From Detection Tool To Industry Infrastructure

Data on AI-generated uploads was first published in January 2025 alongside the launch of Deezer’s detection technology. The system identifies tracks created using models from Suno and Udio, two AI music startups currently facing copyright lawsuits.

Earlier this year, access to the technology was expanded to other platforms, although Deezer has not disclosed which services have adopted it. In June, the company also introduced a separate tool designed to detect AI-generated music in playlists across services including Apple Music and Spotify.
