YouTube Music finally adds alphabetical playlist sorting on Android

YouTube Music is rolling out basic alphabetical playlist sorting on Android, adding options to sort by track title, artist, and album. The feature appears in app version 9.20.52 and is being rolled out via a server-side flag, so not all users will see it yet. It bridges a long-standing gap versus Spotify and Apple Music, though bugs like an occasional inability to play the next track persist as Google pushes the wider rollout in coming weeks.

Spotify Turns 20 With a Personal Listening Time Capsule

Spotify marks its 20th anniversary with 'Spotify 20: Your Party of the Year(s)', a fan-facing experience on the app letting users revisit their listening journey—from their first day and first streamed song to total unique tracks and their all-time top artist—plus a custom 120-track playlist and shareable data stories for both free and Premium users, while also revealing all-time leaders in artists, songs, albums, podcasts and audiobooks: Taylor Swift tops artists, Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti is the top album, The Weeknd’s Blinding Lights is the top song, Joe Rogan Experience is the top podcast, and Sarah J. Maas’s A Court of Thorns and Roses is the top premium audiobook.

Spotify rolls out 'Verified by Spotify' badge to flag authentic artists amid AI concerns

Spotify is rolling out a 'Verified by Spotify' badge with a green checkmark to show artists meet authenticity signals such as linked social accounts, consistent listener activity, merch, or tour dates; the company says the vast majority of artists fans search for will be verified and rollout will occur over the coming weeks. The move aims to reduce confusion around AI-generated personas, but critics warn verification may penalize real artists who lack certain markers and note that it doesn't prove a track was not AI-assisted.

Deezer: AI-made uploads hit 44% of new music, yet AI streams are largely demonetized

Deezer reports that about 44% of new uploads are AI-generated (roughly 75,000 AI tracks daily), but AI streams account for only about 1–3% of listening because roughly 85% are demonetized as fraudulent; the company’s AI-detection tech has a false-positive rate under 0.01%, and AI tracks are excluded from recommendations. A survey found 97% of listeners can’t reliably tell AI from human-made songs, underscoring labeling challenges in the growing AI-music space.
