BMG has acquired publishing interests in the catalog of Australian rock band Jet.
The transaction covers the publishing interests of three of the four original Jet members: Nic Cester, Cam Muncey, and Mark Wilson. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The agreement expands BMG's existing publishing partnership with Jet and follows the company's 2023 acquisition of the band's recordings catalog.
"We've loved working with BMG," says frontman and co-founder Nic Cester, "and we're excited to extend that partnership to the publishing side, so these songs can keep finding new audiences in the years ahead."
"There are few Australian bands with songs as internationally recognizable as Jet," comments Heath Johns, president, Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia, BMG, who negotiated the deal. "Jet was the Australian export story of the early 2000s, carrying the torch for a new generation of rock 'n' roll storytellers."
"Jet's enduring success is illustrated on stage at festivals and headline shows around the world, on radio, across streaming, and through a global sync track record of the rarest order," he adds. "BMG is honored that Jet has placed their faith in us to help ensure these songs continue to find new audiences for many years to come."
Formed in the late 1990s, Jet released three studio albums and have sold more than 6.5 million records worldwide. Their breakthrough 2003 debut Get Born is certified 9x Platinum in Australia and Platinum in both the U.K. and the U.S.
