No More ‘Money, Money, Money’ For Trump As ABBA Demand He Stops Playing Their Songs At Rallies

The winner takes it all on November 5 — but not to the sound of ABBA if the victor is Donald Trump.

ABBA’s record label said the Trump campaign has been playing the iconic Swedish pop band’s records without permission. Universal Music has now issued a cease and desist order.

In a statement to Reuters, Universal Music said: “Together with the members of ABBA, we have discovered that videos have been released where ABBA’s music has been used at Trump events, and we have therefore requested that such use be immediately removed and taken down.

It added: “Universal Music Publishing AB and Polar Music International AB have not received any request, so no permission or license has been granted to Trump.”

Deadline has contacted Universal Music for comment. The Trump campaign is yet to comment.

Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet reported that ABBA hits including ‘The Winner Takes It All’ and ‘Money, Money, Money’ were played at a Trump rally on July 27 in Minnesota.

ABBA has become the latest recording artist to call out Trump. Earlier this month, Foo Fighters said they didn’t approve of the use of ‘My Hero’ during a Trump rally in Arizona. Celine Dion’s team also publicly rejected the Trump campaign’s use of ‘My Heart Will Go On’ during a rally.
