Deezer says fully AI-generated tracks now account for 44 percent of the music uploaded to its service each day, nearly 75,000 tracks daily and over two million each month. Listening remains between 1 and 3 percent of total streams, and the company detects 85 percent of those streams as fraudulent and demonetizes them. Daily AI uploads had risen from 10,000 in January 2025 to 60,000 in January 2026. Deezer labels detected AI music, excludes it from algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists, and says it will cease storing high-resolution versions. During 2025, the platform tagged over 13.4 million AI tracks.

The figures separate the size of a catalog from the presence of an audience. Generative systems can supply files at industrial speed, while fraudulent streaming can manufacture a residue of apparent demand around them. This volume burdens detection, storage, royalty allocation, and the ordinary act of finding a song. Deezer's response creates a divided shelf inside the same service. One class of track receives a label, loses recommendation and playlist access, and now loses high-resolution storage. Human-made recordings continue through the usual channels. That arrangement gives the platform's detector substantial cultural and financial authority because classification affects visibility and payment. Each day, almost 75,000 new files enter that sorting process, while genuine listening reaches only a small fraction of their streams.
