ChristinaGrimmieLove: Every single song on "Just Dance Kids" was covered, so unless you wanted the covered version on JDU, Ubisoft would have to renegotiate an entirely new licensing deal for the song. Plus, I think that having commissioned a cover for the song themselves, Ubisoft might have more rights than were this just any song.

There's a reason why we don't already have every single song from JD1-2016 on JDU: Licensing rights. Ubisoft likely has to renegotiate them for each song individually to get them on JDU since the original licensing deals for the songs on JD1-JD2015 did not include any rights for streaming them on JDU. Since Ubisoft paid someone to make all of the JDK covers for them, they probably also own the rights to them to do almost whatever they want.

Hence why we're just getting them on JDU. Easier and cheaper than to renegotiate the rights to, oh, I don't know, "What Makes You Beautiful".
