Britney Spears has reportedly sold the rights to her entire music catalog to Primary Wave, a music publishing company, in a deal described as a landmark transaction. The agreement includes iconic hits such as '...Baby One More Time', 'Oops!… I Did It Again', and 'Gimme More', according to sources cited by The Hollywood Reporter.
The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed, but TMZ reports that it is in the ballpark of Justin Bieber's $200 million sale of his back catalog to Hipgnosis Songs Capital. Documents obtained by TMZ are dated 30 December 2025. Spears' representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The sale comes a month after Spears stated she would 'never' perform in the US again, citing 'extremely sensitive reasons'. In a January Instagram post, she wrote: 'I will never perform in the U.S. again because of extremely sensitive reasons but I hope to be sitting on a stool with a red rose in my hair, in a bun, performing with my son… in the UK and AUSTRALIA very soon.'
Spears, known as the Princess of Pop, rose to fame in 1998 with her debut single '...Baby One More Time'. The Grammy-winning singer has two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline: Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19. She reunited with Jayden around Christmas 2024 after a period of estrangement.
In her 2023 memoir 'The Woman in Me', Spears addressed her often controversial social media activity, explaining that she finds 'joy' in posing in ways that make her feel sexy, after years of being photographed for others' approval.
