Key Takeaways

• AI Content: Deezer reports that 44% of daily uploads are fully AI-generated.
• Low Consumption: Despite the influx, AI-generated tracks only account for 1-3% of total streams.
• Rapid Growth: The number of daily AI-generated songs has increased significantly over recent months.
• Fraud Detection: Deezer employs a proprietary tool to identify and manage AI-generated content.

French streaming service Deezer claims in its latest report on AI-generated content that roughly 44% of daily uploads are fully AI-generated — the equivalent of 75,000 every day, or over 2 million per month.

Still, despite that influx of AI-generated songs, Deezer notes that the consumption of these tracks remains low. The uploads only equate to 1-3% of total streams on the platform, and the majority (85%) of these streams have been flagged as fraudulent by Deezer. Anything flagged for fraudulent or artificial streaming activity is demonetized by the company.

If 44% of Deezer’s daily uploads equate to 75,000 tracks, this new press release also implies that the French streaming service is now receiving over 170,000 songs daily — much higher than Luminate’s 2025 end-of-year report that claimed over 100,000 songs are uploaded daily to the streaming service.

Deezer uses a proprietary AI detection tool to scan for songs, and the platform has been consistently providing updates on how many AI songs are uploaded to its platform since January 2025.

According to Deezer, the numbers are growing rapidly.

In January 2025, it reported that the figure was 10,000 songs a day; in April 2025, it noted the figure was 20,000 songs daily; and in September 2025, it reported the number had risen to 30,000 songs daily. In January 2026, the figure was reported as 60,000 songs daily.

In an interview with Billboard about the company’s AI research in May, Aurelien Herault, Deezer’s chief innovation officer, and Manuel Moussallam, its director of research, said that part of the reason why they were finding a growing number of fully-AI generated songs was simply that their “data got better” — as well as the fact that the overall volume of fully AI-generated songs had increased as more users adopted AI tools like Suno and Udio.

To date, that model only searches for fully (not partially) AI-generated songs from select popular models, including Suno and Udio, and once these AI songs are flagged, the French streaming service adds a tag to disclose its AI use. It also removes these AI songs from algorithmic and editorial recommendations and playlists, as well as demonetizes any streams suspected to be artificial.

“AI-generated music is now far from a marginal phenomenon and as daily deliveries keep increasing, we hope the whole music ecosystem will join us in taking action to help safeguard artist’s rights and promote transparency for fans,” says Alexis Lanternier, CEO of Deezer. “Thanks to our technology and the proactive measures we put in place more than a year ago, we have shown that it’s possible to reduce AI-related fraud and payment dilution in streaming to a minimum. Since January, we have made our detection technology available for licensing, and we’re looking forward to seeing industry peers of all kinds join us in the fight for fairness in the age of AI.”
