TikTok has confirmed that it has begun to remove Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG) songs from its platform.The app has already removed tracks by artists who are signed to the label and will be doing the same with songwriters. The removal of the UMPG tracks comes three days before the UMPG catalogue becomes unlicensed for use on the social media platform.Per Music Business Worldwide, “Any recording of a song currently available on TikTok that has been co-written by a songwriter signed to Universal Music Publishing will also need to come down in the event of UMPG’s license expiring.According to BBC, TikTok has shared that up to 30 per cent of the platform’s “popular songs” could be lost, with some industry estimates revealing that up to 80 per cent of all music on TikTok could be muted.A short list of UMG artists whose music is expected to vanish from the platform is Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, The Weeknd, Drake, Billie Eilish, Justin Bieber, Adele, Coldplay, J Balvin, Post Malone and Sophie Ellis-Bextor – whose 2001 track ‘Murder On The Dancefloor’ has gone particularly viral through TikTok following the release of Saltburn.Last month, UMG published an open letter announcing its intention to withdraw music from artists signed to the publisher and label from TikTok.In its statement, UMG announced that its licensing agreement with TikTok expired on January 31 and that negotiations to renew the contract have fallen short.

Meryl Streep said “saved the movies” in 2023 – may have been snubbed in some of the major categories at the 2024 Academy Awards. (Shout-out to Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig!)But there is no stopping that arch-footed doll in at least one category — Best Original Song — where Billie Eilish is the overwhelming favorite to win her second Oscar for her brooding ballad “What Was I Made For?”Only another “Barbie” ditty, “I’m Just Ken,” even stands a chance at an upset.Just like “No Time to Die” — Eilish’s Bond theme that took the song-penning prize in 2022 — the tune that hauntingly humanizes Barbie was co-written by the singer’s producer brother Finneas.
It is crunch time for Raj Kapoor, Katy Mullan, and Molly McNearney, the three Executive Producers of the 96th Annual Academy Awards as they are putting final touches in place for what they hope will be a show that honors not just this year’s crop of movies, but also Hollywood’s and Oscar’s rich past history, and a ceremony that excites viewers to the point of keeping the recent post-pandemic ratings rise rising, (ie not going in the wrong direction). All indicators are, particularly with the potency and popularity of this year’s Best Picture contenders, and most notably the dual phenomenon of summer blockbusters Barbie and front-runner Oppenheimer (aka Barbenheimer) which have 21 nominations between them, that this could be a banner year for the Oscars as there is nothing more encouraging ratings-wise, as host Jimmy Kimmel told me earlier this week, than doing a show where viewers have actually seen the movies and have a rooting interest in the outcome. Ratings for other awards shows (save for the dreary numbers the strike-delayed Emmys got) have been upbeat including the revitalized Golden Globes on CBS, Critics Choice Awards on The CW, and the Grammys which also had a Barbie factor with its Song Of The Year winner from Billie Eilish, “What Was I Made For”.
