Deezer has deleted 26m ‘useless’ tracks since it launched artist-centric model with UMG

Deezer says that it had around 200 million pieces of content on the platform last year, which means that over 13% of this content has been deleted. “The intention is to declutter the platform, focus on tracks that are valuable to our users and increase the market share for all artists who create this music,” Folgueira told MBW. “The tracks that have been removed include noise, mono-track albums, fake artists and tracks that haven’t been listened to in the past 12 months.”
