SubmitHub Finds 38.5% of July 2026 Music Releases Used AI

Summary
More than 1 million tracks analyzed by SubmitHub showed 38.5% of music released globally in July involved AI, including 23.2% deemed fully AI-generated.
Another 15.3% used AI-generated audio later modified by humans, a split SubmitHub says underscores a growing disclosure problem rather than a niche use case.
SH Labs, the company’s detector launched earlier this summer, is already being used by Bandcamp, Traxsource and GEMA, whose recent court win against Suno sharpened industry scrutiny.
June data from Deezer put AI tracks at more than half of new daily uploads, while Spotify plans an “AI Persona” badge in September and Bandcamp has already banned AI-created music.
