ABBA are the latest act to call on former President Donald J. Trump to stop playing their music at his events, “Money, Money, Money,” “The Winner Takes It All,” and “Dancing Queen” were played at a rally in St. Cloud, Minnesota, in July.
ABBA’s label, Universal Music Group, is saying the politicians were not permitted to use the music. “Together with the members of ABBA, we have discovered that videos have been released where ABBA’s music/videos has been used at Trump events, and we have therefore requested that such use be immediately taken down and removed,” the label wrote.
ABBA joins Beyoncé, Celine Dion, Foo Fighters, and Isaac Hayes’ estate against the Republican presidential candidate’s use of their songs.
