y’all can say whatever ab Lana being tiktok viral but but it gave her the exposure she never had before

even made her release a 10 year old outtake from ultraviolence ffs 

wrdgaf, she doesn’t belong on that rancid app

i really doubt this would change anything a lot of viral music there is unlicensed unreleased music they will just put bootleg uploads of released music now

Devil app. Glad I never got involved with that trash.

Ya most viral sounds aren’t the officially uploaded ones anyways? Unless they will crack down now on taking those down?

[longtimeman 8,069]

It smells like a business/bargaining tactic to me. Give it a couple of months, and things will be back exactly how they are now.

i think i got it

@lakeplacid oh its over for u

yeah i guess they could hunt them down but that sounds like a pain in the ass to take down ALL of it, i'm sure some will still bypass security lol

everytime i think of lana and tik tok i remember that awful "everybody knows that i'm a good girl officer" trend  pls no more

I thought she was, but not sure why she isn’t listed on their artists page.

She is, they posted about her being one of their artists in this post. Perhaps they haven't updated their website since she allegedly signed last year but wasn't announced until two weeks ago -

Considering every hit Lana has had post 2020 was due to TikTok this is awful for her honestly 

But maybe she'll become less localified which is good

[Brooklyn Fetus 1,749]

lmao lana is the person with most hits on tiktok since like 2020 with yes to heaven and queen of disaster, watch tiktok downfall and get dominated by odetari sigmas

I actually can’t remember the last time that I saw one of her songs being used with an official audio. It’s usually edited sounds that are uploaded by different users. So yeah if they aren’t taking those down then, she will probably be fine. 

[honeymoon is alive 15,112]

we should just wait and see, theres a lot of artists under umg, i bet tiktok will think twice and agree with universal 

[southbeachswing 2,126]

I dont really see this actually being a big deal for lana with where shes at…. instagram reels girlies will find a way

 

Spoiler

also the devil works hard but audio re-uploaders work harder

 

[AllHisCandyNecklaces 882]

Oh the tik tok LDR users will go insane when they hear/see this 

[lizzyology 6,606]

NAUR - if you remove Lana from Tik Tok, who will be listening to Betty Boop Boop and Birds of a Feather now Mr. Donald Trump?

when betty boop boop actually does go viral on tiktok and somebody manages to upload it onto spotify using this as the cover art

 

[lake placid 2,717]

thank god this should hopefully wipe out the tiktok LDR community but for lana this rlly isnt the best move

She has a German UMG site:

https://www.universal-music.de/lana-del-rey

also all her music on Spotify is published under licence to UMG or to subgroups from UMG
