Dear UMPG Family: 

We are reaching out to trusted and valued partners throughout the globe to inform you that, despite our good faith efforts over the last several months, we are at an impasse in reaching a licensing agreement with TikTok and our current agreement ends tomorrow.

Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG), a leading, global music publisher, today announced a new collaboration and sub-publishing arrangement with DnB Allstars, the renowned London-based label and events company specializing in drum and bass. 

Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG), the leading, global publishing division of Universal Music Group, today announced that buzzing British producer, songwriter and composer Danny L Harle has been signed to an exclusive, global administration agreement.

Fast-rising talent Harle has been making waves across music, having most recently co-written and co-produced Dua Lipa’s brand new hit “Houdini,” her highest debuting single on Billboard 100 to date. In just weeks since release, the song reached #1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, #2 on UK Singles, peaked at #11 on the Billboard Hot 100, and has more than 68 million Spotify streams. On top of this, Harle received his first Grammy nomination with long term collaborator Caroline Polachek’s on her second album, ‘Desire, I want To Turn Into You’ which he co-executively produced.

Remembering Shane MacGowan - one of the world's most iconic songwriters. 

Emerging from the London punk scene, Shane is best known as the founder and lead singer/songwriter of the Pogues – a stalwart of the scene who mixed the spirit of punk with Irish folk music to create some of the most enduring songs of the 1980s. 

The Pogues achieved their biggest commercial success with the album ‘If I Should Fall From Grace With God’. The album included the single ‘Fairytale of New York’ with Kirsty MacColl, which peaked at No. 2 on the UK singles chart and has gone on to top many polls as the greatest Christmas song of all time.

Claire Walters, A&R Creative Manager UMPG UK, has been inducted into the 2023 Music Week Women In Music Roll Of Honour, in association with TikTok.

Music Week's Women In Music Roll Of Honour was established nine years ago and now has over 100 members. It aims to highlight the breadth, depth and variety of women who are ‘game changers’ in the music industry.
