Spotify Removes 75 Million Songs Identified as ‘AI-Generated Slop or Spam’

Spotify is making room for more real music as it scrapes more than 75 million songs identified as “slop or spam” from the streaming service. The removed releases were flagged as having made “serious or repeated violations of our rules,” the platform shared in its one-year update on the plans it made to put AI protections in place for artists, songwriters, and producers.

An additional 50 million songs have been filtered out of recommendations for users following repeated complaints regarding quality. “We looked closely at the tracks listeners were skipping, ignoring, or telling us they didn’t want to hear,” Spotify shared in a recent newsletter. “A clear pattern emerged: these tracks were consistently ones identified as slop or spam.”

The 2027 Grammys’ Best Rap Album Nominees May Not Be the Usual Suspects
