I thought this was a reference to 1984, but nope. I checked the other videos on the channel, and it was indeed (professional) performances in recent decades, which has a separate copyright. In this case, as law stands now, UMG (Universal Music Group), with the agreement of the performer*, owns the rights of the performances.
