AI-Generated Music Is Now 44% of Tracks Uploaded to Deezer Daily
The French streaming service says its detection tool is now flagging roughly 75,000 AI-made tracks every day — up from about 10,000 when tagging began in January 2025. Consumption remains modest, at 1–3% of streams.

What Happened
Deezer said on April 20 that its AI-music detection tool is now identifying close to 75,000 AI-generated tracks uploaded to the platform every day, equivalent to 44% of all new music added to the service. That is up from roughly 10,000 per day when the Paris-based streamer began tagging AI content in January 2025 — a 7.5x increase in about fifteen months.
The company said that amounts to more than two million AI-generated tracks arriving on the platform each month.
The detection system, for which Deezer filed two patents in December 2024, identifies output from generative models including Suno and Udio. Deezer began explicitly labeling AI-generated tracks in the user-facing product in June 2025, describing itself as the first streaming platform to do so.
Streaming Lags the Uploads
While AI-generated music now dominates new uploads, the company says it accounts for only 1–3% of total streams on the service. Of those streams, Deezer says 85% are flagged as fraudulent — typically stream-manipulation schemes using AI content — and are demonetized, meaning the uploader receives no royalties.
The streamer said on the same date that it has also stopped storing high-resolution versions of tracks identified as AI-generated.
Listener Survey
An Ipsos survey Deezer commissioned in November 2025 — 9,000 respondents across the United States, Canada, Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Japan — found that 97% of respondents could not distinguish between AI-generated and human-made songs in a blind test. 80% said AI-generated music should be labeled on streaming services, and 73% said they want to be told when a service is recommending AI-generated music to them.
Context
Deezer is the only major streaming platform currently disclosing AI content to users. Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music do not tag AI-generated tracks in their catalogs. The 44% figure is specific to Deezer's detection on its own platform — not a measurement of the broader music market — but it is the first platform-level disclosure of AI-upload share from any major streamer.
Alexis Lanternier, Deezer's chief executive, said AI-generated music is "far from a marginal phenomenon" and said the company is continuing to develop tools aimed at preserving royalties for human artists.
