Music publisher Primary Wave said to have bought rights to pop star’s music, including Toxic and Baby One More Time
Britney Spears has sold the rights to her music catalog, which includes hits such as Toxic, Baby One More Time and Gimme More, according to media reports.
The music publisher Primary Wave is said to have purchased the pop star’s music rights on 30 December, TMZ reported on Tuesday, citing legal documents. An unnamed source “familiar with the deal” confirmed the sale to the New York Times.
The terms of the sale and the price of the catalog have not been made public, but such deals have been lucrative for artists in recent years.
High-profile artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Shakira, Justin Bieber and Justin Timberlake have sold their catalogs. Springsteen sold his songs to Sony in 2021 for $500m, and that company purchased Queen’s catalog for more than $1bn in 2024.
