Deezer reports that 44% of tracks added to its service each day are produced by AI.

On Monday, Deezer revealed that tracks produced by AI now account for 44% of all newly uploaded music on its platform. The company stated it receives nearly 75,000 AI-generated tracks daily and over two million each month.

However, the consumption of AI-created music on the platform remains quite low, ranging from 1-3% of total streams, with 85% of these streams identified as fraudulent and subsequently demonetized by the company.

Deezer’s latest statistics underscore a steady increase in the uploads of AI-generated music to their platform. In January, Deezer reported an intake of about 60,000 AI tracks each day, an increase from 50,000 in November, 30,000 in September, and just 10,000 in January 2025, when their AI-music detection tool was first introduced.

Songs labeled as AI-generated on Deezer are automatically excluded from algorithmic suggestions and not featured in editorial playlists. The company announced today that it will cease storing high-resolution versions of AI tracks.

This updated statistic emerges as an AI-generated track recently claimed the top spot on the iTunes charts in the United States, United Kingdom, France, Canada, and New Zealand.

“AI-generated music has moved beyond being a marginal aspect, and with daily submissions on the rise, we expect the entire music ecosystem to collaborate with us in safeguarding artists’ rights and fostering transparency for fans,” said Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier in a press release. “With our technology and the proactive strategies implemented over a year ago, we have demonstrated that it’s feasible to minimize AI-related fraud and payment dilution in streaming.”

This announcement follows a survey Deezer conducted last November, which revealed that 97% of respondents were unable to differentiate between completely AI-generated music and music created by humans.

The survey also indicated that 52% of participants believed that fully AI-generated songs should not be alongside human-made songs in the main charts. Meanwhile, 80% stated that 100% AI-generated music ought to be clearly labeled for listeners.

Deezer began tagging AI tracks at the platform level in June 2025, being the first streaming service to implement this. Throughout 2025, Deezer tagged over 13.4 million AI tracks on its platform.

In February, the French streaming service Qobuz announced intentions to label AI-generated content on its platform. Other leading streaming services, like Spotify and Apple Music, adopt varying strategies for AI-generated music, often combining filters to detect low-quality AI music with transparency efforts left to the distributors.
