Britney Spears sells rights to her entire music catalogue

Pop superstar Britney Spears has sold the rights to her entire music catalogue, the BBC writes.

Spears, 44, is said to have sold to independent music publisher Primary Wave on Dec. 30 for around $200m.

The sale comes after a tumultuous few years for the singer, who in 2021 ended a 13-year-long conservatorship – a legal guardianship that saw her finances and personal life controlled by her father.

In January 2024, the singer said she would “never return to the music industry”. Her last song was a duet released with Elton John in 2022.

The singer published her memoir in 2023 titled The Woman in Me, which detailed her struggles living under the conservatorship.

Spears is one of the best-selling female artists, with more than 150 million records sold worldwide.
