Trump told to stop playing Sinéad O'Connor song at rallies
Chrysalis Records and the estate of Sinéad O'Connor have publicly demanded that Donald Trump stop using the late Irish artists song "Nothing Compares 2 U" at his political rallies.
The request comes after the song was featured at Trump's recent campaign events in Maryland and North Carolina.
O'Connor, who died in July 2023 at the age of 56, was known for her strong ethical principles, which her estate believes are contradicted by Trump's use of her music.
The estate's representatives have strongly opposed Trump's use of the song.
It sees O'Connor's estate as the latest on a list of musicians and rights holders - including Adele, the Beatles, and Rihanna - to opposed Trump's use of their songs for political campaigning.

Several media reports show strong opposition to Donald Trump's use of Sinéad O'Connor's music at his rallies, reflecting the sentiments of the artists and their estates that have publicly complained.
The comments from O'Connor's estate, describing Trump as a "biblical devil" illustrate an overt political bias.
Reports similarly highlight other critical comments made by the other artists regarding Donald Trump and his polarising political history.
