- According to data released by Deezer, 44 percent of new music tracks are AI-generated.

April 21, Kathmandu – Music streaming platform Deezer has revealed that 44 percent of the new music uploaded on its platform consists of AI-generated tracks.
The company currently receives about 75,000 AI-created songs daily and over 20 million monthly, a sharp rise from just 10,000 daily in January 2025.
Despite the rapid rise in AI music tracks, their share of total streaming consumption remains limited to 1 to 3 percent. Moreover, as 85 percent of streams on AI tracks are identified as fraudulent, Deezer has suspended revenue payments from such content.
To address these challenges, Deezer has implemented a policy to exclude AI-produced songs from its algorithms and editorial playlists, and it has decided not to store high-quality versions of these tracks going forward.
Since June 2025, Deezer has started tagging AI music separately, having classified more than 13.4 million tracks so far. In a company survey, 97 percent of respondents were unable to distinguish between human and AI-created music.
Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier has urged the entire music industry to come together to protect artists’ rights and improve transparency. Recently, AI music has even topped charts like iTunes in countries such as the US and UK.
Alongside Deezer, other major platforms like Spotify and Apple Music are also adopting various filters and transparency measures to manage AI-generated music.
