Britney Spears Seals a Massive Music Catalog Deal
Pop icon Britney Spears has reportedly finalized a significant agreement, selling the rights to her extensive music catalog. According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, the deal involves Primary Wave, a prominent music publisher.
A Deal Worth Millions?
While the exact financial details remain undisclosed, sources suggest the agreement is a “landmark deal,” potentially reaching around $200 million – comparable to the figure Justin Bieber received when he sold his music rights. This places Britney Spears among a growing number of artists capitalizing on the current market for music catalog sales.
What’s Included in the Sale?
The sale encompasses a vast collection of Britney Spears’ biggest hits, including timeless classics like:
- “(You Drive Me) Crazy”
- “…Baby One More Time”
- “Break The Ice”
- “Circus”
- “Don’t Let Me Be the Last to Know”

…and many more chart-topping tracks that defined a generation.
Joining a Growing Trend
Britney Spears isn’t alone in this trend. Numerous high-profile artists have recently sold their music catalogs, including Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, and Neil Young. Stevie Nicks previously sold an 80% stake in her publishing catalog to Primary Wave in 2020, valued at approximately $100 million at the time.

Managed by Cade Hudson, Britney reportedly signed the agreement on December 30th and is said to be pleased with the outcome, celebrating the sale with time spent with her children. Representatives for Britney Spears and Primary Wave have yet to comment on the deal.
This sale marks a new chapter for the “Princess of Pop” and highlights the increasing value placed on music catalogs in today’s industry.
