Britney Spears sells music catalogue rights
Pop princess bags multi-million deal to hand over hits to Primary Wave
ALIFORNIA: Britney Spears is officially trading her masters for a massive payday. The pop icon has reportedly sold the rights to her extensive music catalogue to Primary Wave, an independent music publisher known for housing the legacies of legends like Whitney Houston and Stevie Nicks.
According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, the deal was inked on December 30. While the exact figure remains under wraps, sources suggest the payout is “in the ballpark” of the $200 million agreement Justin Bieber struck with Hipgnosis back in 2023. It seems Britney decided it was finally time to see some “Gimme More” in her bank account.
The 44-year-old superstar has been a permanent fixture on the global charts since her 1998 debut, “…Baby One More Time.” This new deal covers a treasure trove of millennial anthems, including:
Toxic
Oops!… I Did It Again
Circus
I’m a Slave 4 U
While the news has sent fans into a frenzy, the parties involved are keeping things quiet for now. Primary Wave has not yet responded to requests for comment, and Spears herself has stayed silent on social media.
For an artist who has spent decades under intense public and legal scrutiny, this move represents a significant shift in how her musical legacy will be managed. By handing over the keys to her kingdom, Britney is the latest in a long line of heavyweights to treat their songbook as a high-value asset rather than just a trip down memory lane.
