The Day the Music Un@lived 🎵
Breaking down the new UMG TikTok Music Drama 😬
UMG has officially removed all music from TikTok as of February 1st, 2024. 🪦 UMG felt that it was not getting the money it was owed being part of sounds and other trending moments that the company, and artists were not getting credit for. Here are some TikTokers to explain:
So next time you’re looking for music on TikTok, and can’t find it…chances are it’s because the label is UMG.
Now that UMG has pulled artists like Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey and Justin Bieber what do you put as a sound? Consider these options:
👂 ASMR
🎙️ Voiceover or trending sounds
🎚️ natural background noises (don’t add or change anything!)
🎶 other artists, not from UMG!
