Universal Music, Meta expand music licensing agreement

Universal Music Group (UMG), the world’s biggest music label, announced on Monday an expanded agreement with Facebook-parent Meta Platforms to create new opportunities for its artists and songwriters across Meta’s social platforms.

“UMG was the first major music company to license Facebook back in 2017 and this new agreement will further expand the possibilities for music within the meta ecosystem,” said the company that represents artists such as Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish.
