Human-made music · free with credit
At its June 2026 peak, over half of the new tracks delivered to Deezer each day were fully AI-generated.1 Everything under the lens was made by one person: Purrple Cat — 500+ songs, 500M+ streams, 425K followers since December 2018. Every song here is free to use with credit.
Deezer has published this count since it launched its AI detection tool in January 2025. The share is of all new tracks delivered each day. Fully AI tracks get only 1–3% of streams on Deezer, but Deezer says they dilute the catalogue.1

| Jan 2025 | 10,000 | 10% |
| Apr 2025 | 20,000 | 18% |
| Sep 2025 | 30,000 | 28% |
| Nov 2025 | 50,000 | 34% |
| Jan 2026 | 60,000 | 39% |

In a blind test Ipsos ran for Deezer, 97% of 9,000 people couldn’t tell fully AI-generated music from human-made music.2 So this isn’t a detector. It walks you through the public evidence and tells you how strong it is.
No platform label, but a long, real history and visible process. That’s usually the best evidence you’ll get.
A missing label proves nothing. Spotify says “the absence of AI credits doesn’t mean AI wasn’t used on a song.”3 Detectors, Deezer’s included, are one more clue, not a verdict.
Deezer tags an album when one or more of its tracks were detected as fully AI-generated, so not every track on a tagged album is AI. Detected tracks are left out of algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists. AI-assisted music usually isn’t tagged.
