Britney Spears reportedly sells music catalog to Primary Wave

Britney Spears has reportedly sold the rights to her entire music catalog to the music publishing company Primary Wave. According to reports from TMZ and the New York Times, the transaction was finalized on December 30. While some estimates suggest the deal is worth approximately $200 million, official financial details have not been publicly confirmed. The acquisition includes legendary hits such as "Toxic," "Baby One More Time," and "Oops! I Did It Again!" spanning nine albums released since 1999. This move aligns with a broader industry trend where artists like Bruce Springsteen and Justin Bieber have sold their catalogs for high valuations. The deal comes three years after the termination of Spears' 14-year conservatorship in November 2021. Previously, the star lacked the legal authority to manage her own financial and professional decisions. Spears remains one of the world's best-selling artists despite these past legal restrictions.
