French music streaming service Deezer is seeing 75,000 AI-generated songs uploaded to the platform every day, equating to over two million tracks per month – over 44% of new music uploads.

These numbers are in keeping with a continued rise in AI-generated content uploaded to the platform. In January 2026, the daily number was 60,000, which made up 39%. Before that, in November 2025 the number was 50,000, 30,000 in September, and 10,000 when Deezer introduced its patent-pending AI detection tool to its system in January 2025.

“AI-generated music is now far from a marginal phenomenon,” says Alexis Lanternier, CEO of Deezer. “As daily deliveries keep increasing, we hope the whole music ecosystem will join us in taking action to help safeguard artists’ rights and promote transparency for fans.”

Deezer has taken significant steps to ensure users are engaging with human-made music. In response to the increasing numbers, Deezer will no longer store high-resolution versions of AI-generated tracks. This comes after it banned AI content from algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists.

In terms of who is listening to these tracks, according to Deezer, 1-3% of total streams are for AI-generated music, and 85% of those streams are reportedly fraudulent.

Deezer also claims it’s the first major streamer to independently identify AI-generated music. The practice began in June 2025 and has now tagged 13.4 million AI-generated tracks.

“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,” Lanternier continues. “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.”
