It Was ABBA's Turn To Protest Because The Song Was Used At The Donald Trump Campaign
JAKARTA - The sensational Swedish group ABBA is the latest name to express its complaint after their hit song "The Winner Takes It All" was played at one of Donald Trump's campaign rallies.
ABBA also complained about the screening of their other songs and music videos at the Republican presidential candidate campaign event, such as "Money, Money, Money" and Dancing Queen" which was played in Minnesota last July.
Meanwhile, ABBA's complaint against Donald Trump was conveyed by record label Universal Music through a statement to the Reuters news agency.
"Together with ABBA members, we have found that the videos have been released showing ABBA music has been used at Trump events, and therefore we have requested that the use be removed and taken down immediately," the statement read.
The label said there was no permit or license granted to Trump to present ABBA's work in the campaign.
