The Great TikTok Music Purge: Pennies Matter

Universal Music banned TikTok from using their artists' songs due to a dispute over payment rates. TikTok offered one cent per thousand streams, while Universal wanted two cents per thousand streams. Until an agreement is reached, popular hit songs from artists like Rihanna, Taylor Swift, and Ariana Grande cannot be used on TikTok. The conflict highlights the importance of payment rates and the financial impact on both TikTok and record labels.
