Recorded music is growing steadily rather than transforming: European Union recorded-music revenue reached EUR 6.0 billion in 2025, up 5.1% year on year and 21.3% of the global total. In the same period the industry moved first on AI provenance, with a cross-industry track-level labelling programme for generative AI in sound recordings announced 2026-07-10 and chart-eligibility principles for AI-developed recordings rolled out 2026-07-30.
