AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoAI Crackdown: Deezer says AI songs now make up over half of daily uploads (about 90,000 tracks a day) and most of the streams tied to them were fraudulent, so it’s deleting AI tracks linked to fake plays and removing unplayed AI uploads after six months. Pricing Pressure: Apple Music raised subscription prices in the UK (and similar moves elsewhere), citing rising licensing costs—while “subscription creep” research says people waste hundreds a year on unused services. Spotify Video Push: Spotify launched its first global music video chart and is rolling out a fuller music-video ecosystem for artists, stepping up its challenge to YouTube. Global Breakthroughs: Burna Boy topped Spotify’s new Global Music Video Chart with “Dai Dai” and is also being ranked Africa’s best-selling artist of all time by Chartmasters. New Releases: Carly Pearce previews her August 28 album Honest Woman with “She Don’t,” and Hatebreed announced Fatal Paradox plus a new “Kill Count Increase” video.
