Common Music Group, one of many largest music firms within the business, mentioned it has failed to achieve new licensing phrases with TikTok — and that as such, it is going to now not license content material to the app.

UMG mentioned that its settlement with TikTok is about to run out on Jan. 31. “The businesses haven’t agreed to phrases for a brand new settlement and upon expiration of the present settlement, Common Music Group, together with Common Music Publishing Group, will stop licensing content material to TikTok and TikTok Music providers,” the corporate mentioned in an announcement.

Reps for TikTok didn’t instantly reply to a request for remark. TikTok is the massively standard short-form video app whose core options let customers file movies over licensed music and different sounds.

Artists on Common Music Group labels embrace Taylor Swift, Unhealthy Bunny, Sting, The Weeknd, Alicia Keys, SZA, Steve Lacy, Drake, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Rosalía, Harry Types, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Adele, U2, Elton John, J Balvin, Brandi Carlile, Coldplay, Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan and Put up Malone.
