News Summary:

On September 16, 2026, Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier was recognized as one of the most influential figures in the French music industry at the inaugural Billboard Power Players ceremony in Paris. During the event, Deezer also received Billboard France’s Innovation Award for its AI-music detection technology. This recognition for its AI detection capabilities comes as streaming platforms, including Deezer, Spotify, Qobuz, TIDAL, and Apple Music, face increasing challenges in distinguishing human-made music from AI-generated content, which has significantly grown on these services in 2026. Earlier, on September 7, 2026, Deezer, trading on Euronext Paris as DEEZR, published its share and voting rights details. The company reported a total of 124,675,762 shares in its capital, with a theoretical number of voting rights at 193,769,202 and 193,544,392 exercisable voting rights.
