Taylor and Lana :rip:

 

But since both own their masters I'm not sure if they're included in that

They own 37.5% of the music industry. Some artists there are Gaga, Taylor, Billie, Madonna, Ariana or Rihanna.

 

I literally don't know how the artists are putting up with this lol like TikTok IS the main form of promo rn

Ariana, Weeknd, Drake, Nicki, Morgan Wallen... This would be huge news if true so I bet it won't happen.

i feel like this is gonna harm UMG more than itll harm tiktok - very much agree on the side about how tiktok treats their artists/compensation (and how it should very much be improved) - but i dont see tiktok backing out of this and suddenly compromising

Do you think those who own their masters would be able to keep their music there? Out of the artists cited, I know Rihanna and The Weeknd also own theirs. I'm not knowledgeable on the matter, so I don't know the details and implications of this development.

 

Absolutely shocking announcement regardless.

I don’t think it’ll harm artists such as Taylor, Ariana etc they really don’t need Tik Tok even if some of their songs got pushed due to Tik Tok. 
But for the less known artists from UMG it’ll be tough

Perched this is big

 

 

 

But they'd be more succesful if they have Sony and Warner with them

No. Because while they own their masters, they don't distribute the music there directly. UMG does. They'll have to find another partner to republish their music on TikTok. And the possibility of doing that depends on their agreement with UMG (or they can forfeit their deal for a massive fee, so they can exit).

Do you honestly think one social media app is going to hurt a multi-billion dollar publishing company that was incredibly successful before TikTok was even thought of?

I wonder since Taylor owns her catalog from Lover on and the re-recordings she can make her own deal? Tricky. This will effect a lot of the industry tbh

Madonna's Interscope albums (MDNA, Rebel Heart, Madame X) are UMG releases. Everything else is WMG

 

Halsey's Sony Music tiktok smash is SAFE :hippo:

Seriously? Granted, I don't have TikTok, but from following fan updates and YouTube compilations of viral audios it seemed like the likes of "Breakin' Dishes", "If It’s Lovin’ That You Want", "Woo", "Where Have You Been", "Nobody's Business", and "Loveeeeeee Song" were all seemingly getting attention and growing presence on the platform. I suppose this was done through unauthorized audios...but still... so confused right now.
