Universal Music Group has reached a new licensing agreement with the app, allowing songs to return. The new deal includes "improved remuneration" and "industry-leading protections" for AI.
TikTok will return all of UMG's catalogue including songs by Ariana Grande, BTS. The deal involves improved remuneration, protections for AI, new promotional opportunities for UMG artists.
Taylor Swift's individual deal with TikTok played a role in the agreement. Fans had been uploading UMG songs illicitly, prompting the need for a formal agreement.
UMG's agreement with TikTok follows Warner Music Group's deal last year. Sony Music Entertainment's CEO hinted at similar issues, possibly affecting their artists' presence on TikTok.
