Washington, Feb 11 (.) Global pop superstar Britney Spears has sold the rights to her entire music catalog to independent publisher Primary Wave, according to Deadline.
The deal includes Spears’ biggest hits, such as “…Baby One More Time,” “Oops! … I Did It Again,” “Toxic,” “Sometimes,” “Lucky,” and “I’m a Slave 4 U,” among many others.
TMZ, which first reported the news, stated that the agreement was signed on December 30, though official financial terms have not been disclosed. The deal is believed to be in a similar range to the USD 200 million agreement Justin Bieber secured in 2023 when he sold his catalog to Hipgnosis Songs Capital.
In addition to her early chart-toppers, the agreement reportedly covers tracks such as “Circus,” “If U Seek Amy,” “Gimme More,” “Womanizer,” “Stronger,” “Till The World Ends,” “Everytime,” “Piece of Me,” and “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman.”
With this move, Spears joins a growing roster of global music legends who have sold their catalogs in recent years, including Shakira, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, KISS, Neil Young, and Randy Newman.
Primary Wave, the publisher behind the deal, represents an expansive lineup of legendary artists such as Bob Marley, Stevie Nicks, Whitney Houston, Prince, Aerosmith, and Def Leppard.
