ABBA Demands That Trump Stop Using Their Music
HuffPost
ABBA joins a growing list of musicians demanding that Donald Trump stop playing their songs during his rallies.
On Thursday, ABBA joined several other musicians and musical groups demanding that former President Donald Trump stop playing their music at his rallies.
The group has “discovered that videos have been released where ABBA’s music has been used at Trump’s events and have requested that such use be immediately taken down and removed,” ABBA’s record company, Universal, told Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet on Thursday.
Universal said it had not received any request to license the music to Trump, who has played “Money Money Money” and “The Winner Takes It All” at his rallies.
ABBA now joins musicians including Céline Dion, The Smiths, the estates of the late singer Sinéad O’Connor and the estate of late soul singer Isaac Hayes in demanding that Trump stop playing their songs.
O’Connor’s estate said it was an “outrage” that Trump used the singer’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” at his campaign stops.
