New research from the online platform SubmitHub indicates a significant trend in music creation, projecting that the platform could account for 40% of all new music by 2026. SubmitHub analyzed a database exceeding one million songs, utilizing its proprietary algorithm, “SH Labs,” to examine the composition of contemporary music. The analysis provided detailed metrics regarding the role of artificial intelligence in the modern music industry.
Specifically, SH Labs determined that 23.2% of the analyzed songs were entirely generated by AI systems. Furthermore, the platform found that an additional 15.3% of the songs contained audio elements that were either processed or derived from intelligent assistants. Cumulatively, these findings suggest that 38.5% of the music released within the current year was created, to varying degrees, with the assistance of artificial intelligence.
SubmitHub introduced the SH Labs algorithm earlier this year with the explicit goal of providing transparency by tracking what the company terms “stolen or processed” music. The data highlights the increasing integration of technology into the creative process for generating new songs. These figures provide a quantitative look at how much of the current body of music relies on machine assistance, offering insight into the evolving landscape of recorded music production.
