Gana — The numbers
Music statistics: what the numbers measure
The useful question behind a music statistic is what it measures. This page separates Gana’s small public recording inventory from reported industry revenue, streaming users, and platform enforcement. Those are different populations; none measures Gana’s audience or predicts its growth.

What this reference can tell you
Use this page to check a recorded-music revenue figure, a paid-streaming user count, or the wording of one platform’s enforcement announcement. It does not estimate the AI-song-generator market, the share of music made with AI, or how many people use Gana.
For a citation, take the number and its unit together, then follow the linked original report. For example, IFPI’s paid-streaming figure counts users of subscription accounts; it is not a count of subscriptions purchased. RIAA’s revenue table uses US wholesale dollars. Those definitions matter more than putting the numbers side by side.
What you can count on this website
Method: count the entries and sum the displayed running times on the songs page. This is a count of published examples, not users, customer output, model quality, or a census of the unreleased app. Running times come from the website’s recording metadata; they are not an independent audio measurement.
- Six example recordings appear on Gana’s public songs page: five full songs and one 30-second sample.
- The displayed running times add to 13 minutes 58 seconds: 2:29, 2:32, 0:30, 2:59, 2:54, and 2:34. Each entry has a direct MP3 link on the songs page.
Gana is preparing for its App Store release and is not publicly available yet. This page publishes no Gana user, revenue, conversion, or generation-volume figure. Earlier catalog and localization counts have been removed because a current public release inventory has not been established.
Recorded music revenue and streaming users
- Global recorded-music revenue reached US $31.7 billion in 2025, up 6.4%: IFPI reported these results on 18 March 2026. This is recorded-music revenue, not the total music economy or the market for AI song tools. Read IFPI’s 2026 report release.
- IFPI reported 837 million users of paid streaming subscription accounts in 2025. The unit is users of accounts, not 837 million separate paid accounts. Read the reporting definition and results.
- US recorded-music revenue was US $11.5 billion at wholesale value in 2025, with streaming representing 82%. RIAA’s year-end report gives the underlying total as $11,535.3 million. Wholesale and retail values are different measures; do not compare them as if they use the same basis. Read RIAA’s 2025 report, pages 1–2 (PDF).
A platform enforcement figure is not an AI upload count
- Spotify said it removed more than 75 million spammy tracks in the preceding twelve months, in an announcement dated 25 September 2025. Spotify’s category is spammy tracks; the figure must not be relabeled as the number of AI-generated tracks removed. Read Spotify’s announcement.
Keep the denominator with the number
When citing a statistic, carry over its period, geography, unit, publisher, and any important definition. Revenue does not count listeners. Streaming subscriptions do not count song creators. One platform’s enforcement does not establish the prevalence of AI music across every service.
