After their music was exploited to promote Donald Trump’s presidential campaign without their permission, Abba has voiced their displeasure. It is not true that they are the first musicians to insist that he refrain from exploiting their music.

This month, Abba has become the third musical act to express dissatisfaction with the use of its music in the campaign of Donald Trump of the United States.

The Swedish group requested that the campaign quickly remove videos that featured the “unauthorized” use of their popular songs, including Dancing Queen, at a recent event.

During the previous weekend, the Foo Fighters stated that they did not and would not permit the song “My Hero” to be played, and Celine Dion made the same statement when the song “My Heart Will Go On” was utilised.

Among the many musicians who have voiced their opposition to Mr. Trump’s use of their material, Abba has become the most recent to do so.

“Abba has just found out about the unauthorised use of their music and videos at a Trump event through videos that surfaced online,” the group stated.

“Abba and its representative wasted no time in demanding the removal and deletion of that content.”

“There hasn’t been any request, so no permission or licence has been given.”

In a recent incident, Johnny Marr, the guitarist of the Smiths, expressed his strong disapproval of Mr. Trump. This came after their popular song, “Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want,” was played at one of his rallies.

“Oh, I see…”Sure, no problem. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing in the video.

“Let’s put an end to this right now.”

In 2018, there was quite a stir when Steven Tyler of Aerosmith sent a letter to the then-president, requesting that the band’s songs no longer be played at political rallies. This wasn’t the first time Tyler had taken action, as he had previously sent two cease-and-desist letters in 2015.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have recently reached out to Mr. Trump, while Rihanna took action when he played her music at an event in Tennessee.

The estates of Prince, Tom Petty, the Rolling Stones, Neil Young, and Linkin Park have all made similar demands.
