celeb news Conan Gray reacts to TikTok-UMG fiasco: I’m never gonna have a hit song again

[nostalgia]

The silencing of Universal Music Group’s artists on TikTok has become the talk of the music industry ahead of the Grammys, as fans and UMG-signed artists have been vocal about the licensing rift between the major label and the massively popular social media app.

Republic artist Conan Gray was similarly unserious when discussing the UMG-TikTok split when asked by Rolling Stone on the red carpet of Spotify’s Best New Artist party. “My career is over, for sure. I’m never gonna have a hit song again at this rate,” Gray quipped.

He didn’t have one in the first place. Aw

[Reverse Warholian]

Is the first hit in the room with us?

Before the 30 y/o gays in here try it, Heather was a hit(it has 1.5 billion streams on Spotify). Just because you never heard it doesn’t mean it wasn’t a hit… you guys did the same thing with You Broke Me First 

[Happylittlepunk]

He won’t be missed.

Maniac is somewhat of a hit too with over 700 m streams

[Leppie]

People mocking him when he has a 1.5 billion & 800m song on spotify   both certified hits imo

[Taylena]

Yeah, I hope that eventually UMG and TikTok reach a deal because this is bad for almost every artist that needs the promo. 

[Dei]

I’ve never heard either of his “hits”
