Deezer Expands Artist-Centric Streaming Model Beyond France

Collaborations with independent labels broaden royalty protections for professional creators.

Deezer is expanding its artist-centric payout model into multiple European markets alongside leading distributors. Under the system, certified artists receive double royalty weighting when actively searched by platform listeners.

The initiative drastically reduces payments allocated to white noise and passive mood tracks. Independent artists have voiced optimism that this search-driven formula better reflects intentional fandom.
