Britney Spears has reportedly sold her song catalog and an unclear number of other rights to Primary Wave, according to TMZ.
The Spears deal was signed on December 30, according to TMZ, which first reported the news. Although the amount Primary Wave paid for Spears' music catalog is unknown, sources told the publication it was around the same as the $200 million deal Justin Bieber secured when he sold his music to Hipgnosis Songs Capital in 2023.
The TMZ report, which is based on legal documents the publication says it has viewed, states that she sold "her ownership share of her catalog" to Primary Wave; it notes that the price was not included in the legal documents.
As Sony Music owns and controls the rights to Spears' entire recorded music catalog, it is presumed they sold the rights to her artist royalties. She has songwriting credits on nearly 40 of the songs in her catalog, although few of them were major hits apart from the ballad "Everytime" and fan favorites like "Me Against the Music," "S&M," "Work Bitch!" and others.
Spears is among several big-name artists who have sold their catalogs in recent years, including Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen.
