AI-Tunes Take Over Deezer!
Can you believe it? Deezer, the streaming giant, is getting hit with a wave of over 50,000 AI-generated tracks daily. That's a whopping 34% of all new tracks on their platform each day! It started off with only 10,000 tracks back in January when they dropped their AI detection tool. But now, with a slick 50k rolling in, Deezer's playlist game is leveling up big time. Seems like the future of music might just be AI-tastic!
Spotify's 'Premium Platinum' Packs a Punch
The wait is over! Spotify's cooking up something spicy with their new 'Premium Platinum' subscription, and it’s already making waves across India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and the UAE. Dropping on November 13, this revamped structure comes with three fresh Premium tiers to match all those unique music vibes out there. So, yes, music lovers, variety is indeed the spice of life!

Sony's Money Moves!
Sony's bank feels heavier! With a stout $2.89 billion generated from music and publishing sales, they had a killer Q3 in 2025. Streaming went through the roof, and it shows in their impressive 13.3% year-on-year revenue jump. Looks like Sony’s music game is as strong as ever!
