True, but an artist has several rights in regards to their work.
They have the right to authorise the communication (broadcast, transmission, diffusion) of their music - and, quite separately, the right to control the public performance of their work.
Businesses that play music via a radio, TV or other means are giving a public performance of the music and therefore require permission.
