ABBA Says No to Trump's Use of Their Music
Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! — a letter urging me to stop.
Universal Music has ordered an official warning to Donald J. Trump's presidential campaign over the unauthorized use of ABBA songs to promote the former president's candidacy for the 2024 election.
"Together with the members of ABBA, we have discovered that videos have been released in which ABBA's music has been used at Trump events, and we have therefore requested that such use be immediately removed and taken offline," the group's label, Universal Music, told Reuters in a statement. "Universal Music Publishing AB and Polar Music International AB did not receive any request, so no permission or license has been granted to Trump."
