Wait isn’t Britney with Sony?

Hold Me Closer will fall into this category, as Elton is part of EMI, and EMI is part of UMG. Britney's main catalogue should be under RCA (Sony) though? I do not use Tik Tok, maybe some can see if it still works.

So Universal owns Britney's songs, but she still reports with RCA

I saw a post on instagram that Gimme More has disappeared from TikTok so looks like it’s already starting.

I'm sure Tik Tok will reach a solution soon, they won't survive.

[warioaddams]

No more viral hits for us

I was browsing through Britney Spears' catalogue on UMG website, and apparently there's a Walk on By single

Billboard seems to have done an article about this. They mentioned Beyonce as the main selling point though (also a Sony artist).

Any tracks with a contribution from Universal Music Publishing Group's songwriters are being taken down...

““Cuff It” is one of many Beyoncé songs that features a contribution from a songwriter signed to Universal Music Publishing Group — in this case, Raphael Saadiq. UMPG’s roster also includes artists Styles, Rosalía, SZA, Bad Bunny and Steve Lacy for their songwriting credits. In the U.S., UMPG touches 20% to 30% of the music on TikTok, according to a rep for the platform. The rep declined to comment further.”

So I know Universal is her publishing company but Sony is the one she has contract with. However, if Universal is her publisher, than Sony has to comply when it comes to her catalogue
