aceSuno Partners with BMG
Abstract: Two of three major labels are suing AI-music giant Suno, but the company is partnering with the fourth-largest music company, BMG
As of August 12, 2026, Rolling Stone reported that Suno, described as an AI-music giant, was being sued by two of three major labels while simultaneously partnering with BMG, described as the fourth-largest music company.
