Pop superstar Britney Spears sold the rights to her entire music catalogue to independent music publisher Primary Wave for around $200m in late December 2025, according to showbiz website TMZ.
Details of the sale and the exact price of Spears’ catalogue have not been made public, and neither Spears nor Primary Wave has responded to BBC requests for comment.
Spears, one of the world’s best-selling female artists with more than 150 million records sold, is the latest in a long line of high-profile artists to sell their music catalogues for huge sums of money.
In January 2024, Spears said she would “never return to the music industry” – her last song being a duet with Elton John, released in 2022.
