The recent news that former president Donald Trump's team has used the late Sinéad O'Connor's iconic, Prince-penned hit 'Nothing Compares 2 U' at campaign rallies in his bid to retake the White House is the latest example of a politician using a piece of music without permission from the artist. The record label and estate of O'Connor, who died in July 2023, condemned the Republican hopeful's use of her cover of the song, and issued a cease-and-desist letter in a bid to halt further use of the track, which became a global hit for the Irish singing star back in early 1990. Trump, however, is not the only presidential hopeful to broadcast music without authorization from recording artists.
