Suno, the AI-powered music generator, has achieved a significant commercial milestone despite a storm of legal and industry opposition. The company now boasts 2 million paid subscribers and has surpassed $300 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR), according to a February 2026 announcement from CEO Mikey Shulman. More than 100 million people have used the platform since its launch. [1]

However, rapid growth has been accompanied by fierce criticism. In late February 2026, a coalition of artist representatives, including Ron Gubitz of the Music Artist Coalition, launched a "Say No to Suno" campaign, accusing the platform of building its business "on our backs, scraping the world's cultural output without permission". Warner Music Group settled its copyright case with Suno in November 2025, striking a licensing deal that allows Suno to use the voices and likenesses of artists who opt into the program. [2] However, Suno remains locked in ongoing litigation with both Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment, as well as European rights organization GEMA, which brought a landmark case in a German court.
