Deezer: AI Tracks Hit 44% of Daily Uploads

Paris-based music streaming service Deezer reported on April 20, 2026, that artificial intelligence-generated tracks now account for 44 percent of all daily uploads to its platform, equating to nearly 75,000 such songs each day or more than 2 million per month.

By September 2025, that figure had risen to 30,000 tracks, or 28 percent. It continued climbing to 50,000 in November, 60,000 by January 2026, and now 75,000. Over the course of 2025 alone, Deezer flagged more than 13.4 million AI-generated songs.
