Britney Spears Sells Ownership Stake in Music Catalog to Primary Wave

Key details remain undisclosed, including the precise rights transferred.

Overview

  • Legal documents indicate she signed the agreement on Dec. 30, 2025.
  • Primary Wave assumes Spears’ ownership share in a catalog spanning “…Baby One More Time,” “Oops!… I Did It Again,” “Toxic,” “Gimme More,” and other hits.
  • The purchase price was not disclosed in filings and neither camp has commented publicly, with multiple outlets estimating a roughly $200 million, low nine‑figure valuation.
  • Reporting differs on the specific rights involved, with Sony controlling her recorded masters and limited songwriting credits on many major singles shaping what could be included.
  • The deal places Spears within a broader wave of high‑profile catalog sales as investors target steady streaming, licensing, and sync revenue.
