That's not how licensing works. You can't just say "Hi, I want to license your songs. Kthnxbai!" and then use the licensed songs in perpetuity for anything you want. You license each song (or entire catalogues of work) for each territory and also for each purpose, such as "Sing It" and "Just Dance".

Sure, you can probably work the contract to say "Ubisoft has the right to incorporate this song into the Just Dance series, across mutliple games", but I doubt anyone would let them license a song for any videogame ever in perpetuity.

So, no, a song being licensed for "Just Sing" does not mean Ubisoft will automatically have a license to include it on "Just Dance".
