Britney Spears Sells Rights to Entire Music Catalogue
The sale, valued at about $200 million, includes rights to Spears' biggest hits and marks a key step after her conservatorship ended in 2021, industry sources said.
- The deal, finalized Dec. 30, 2025, transfers ownership of Britney Spears's music catalog to Primary Wave, including her major hits like `Baby One More Time`.
- Having not released a studio album since 2016's `Glory`, Spears, who described court-ordered control in her memoir, ended her conservatorship in 2021.
- Financial terms were undisclosed, though TMZ reported an approximate $200 million valuation, matching Justin Bieber's 2023 catalog sale.
- Spears announced in January that `I will never perform in the U.S. again because of extremely sensitive reasons` but hopes to perform in the United Kingdom and Australia very soon.
- Primary Wave has expanded its portfolio in recent years, acquiring a 50 percent stake in The Notorious B.I.G. estate and deals with Whitney Houston, Bob Marley, Prince, and Stevie Nicks.
