Universal Music Group finished its August round of share buybacks at €250 million, bringing its total for the year to €999.2 million ($1.16 billion). The buybacks began at the end of March as an attempt to correct what the board believed was an undervaluation of the stock in relation to the company's performance and potential. UMG sold €403 million ($467 million) of its stake in Spotify to help finance the repurchases, with (as of early August) approximately $1 billion of the stake it reserved for sale still available. The company pledged to share proceeds with its artists per its 2018 policy. https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/umg-has-now-bought-back-e1-billion-of-its-shares-this-year/

Generative AI music platform Suno made a licensing deal with TuneCore's parent company, Believe Music. Believe and TuneCore artists and labels can opt in to let Suno use their music in its forthcoming model, which will be trained solely on licensed music. The agreement allows Suno-generated tracks to be distributed via TuneCore, which is a complete reversal of its April 2026 decision to block their distribution. Suno has deals with Warner Music Group and BMG, but this is its first with an independent music distributor. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/music-industry-news/suno-announces-partnership-with-tunecore-believe-1236694338/

The UK Parliament's Culture, Media & Sport Select Committee's June post-Brexit touring report highlighted the obstacles creative professionals still encounter when touring and collaborating throughout Europe, including visa and travel permits, customs policies and carnets, transport restrictions, and merch sales tax. The UK government recently responded that it has no "tangible progress" to share and only commits to continuing discussions in meetings. Most solutions to the issues addressed would require rule changes from the EU or its individual member states, so the UK government can't make the necessary changes on its own. The committee proposed steps the government could take independently, such as subsidizing carnets to reduce upfront costs and developing a "cultural touring advice hub” to give artists detailed guidance on international touring. The government rejected those suggestions and only agreed to update the guidance currently on its website. https://completemusicupdate.com/no-tangible-progress-on-brexit-touring-barriers-say-alarmed-mps/

🔊 Beat: “Magnetism” by music producer . Full version & more and in multiple genres on deck 👉🏾🔗🎧.

09/04/2026

I call this beat “Magnetism,” because it was something about it that just kept pulling me in. When I started making it, it wasn’t supposed to be a full-on beatmaking session, I was just trying to get something down really quick, but every time I added something, it wouldn’t leave me alone until I added the next thing…and then the next thing…then the next thing.😅 I‘d love to know who you could hear on this or what kinda vibes it gives you. Full instrumental and more on YT & my website. 📺💻

Jason Isbell filed a proposed class action lawsuit against generative AI company Suno, not for copyright infringement, but for the commercial use of his identity. Because Suno's service can generate a song, description, and image evoking the artist as a response to a prompt, the complaint states that Suno captures and stores "voiceprints," which are "the unique identifying characteristics of an individual’s voice that can be used to identify that person.” The plaintiffs provided examples of Suno's detection filters not preventing a user from using an artist's name as a prompt, as the company claims, but also generating output based on the artist’s identity. The suit also says a music label's right to license a recording doesn't grant an AI company the right to use their identity. https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/jason-isbell-and-david-lowery-are-suing-suno-in-a-class-action-suit-importantly-theyre-hitting-mikey-shulmans-company-with-identity-claims-not-copyright/

Soapbox records footage of artists performing and talking, then converts it into AR or VR "life-size holograms" that audiences can watch in their living rooms. The company says it is "exclusively human" and doesn't use generative AI or CGI, as it believes the desire for authentic human connection will resurge. It has deals with the major labels, has filmed over 140 artists (including T-Pain, Buddy Guy, and Waka Flocka Flame), and has users spanning over 180 countries. The Soapbox app is currently available for Meta Quest headsets and is anticipated to launch on new devices as they gain traction. https://musically.com/2026/09/03/soapbox-talks-music-holograms-and-artists-the-glasses-will-change-the-game/

The reggaeton dembow rhythm copyright lawsuit against Bad Bunny and over 150 artists was dismissed by a US federal judge, who stated that plaintiffs Cleveland “Clevie” Browne and the heirs of Wycliffe “Steely” Johnson failed to clearly identify what copyrighted work has the two-bar pattern they want to protect. The parties have 30 days to meet and discuss a schedule for remaining claims. https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/bad-bunny-wins-reggaeton-dembow-ruling/
