Reports Say Britney Spears Sold Stake in Song Catalog to Primary Wave

Outlets cite legal filings showing a Dec. 30 signing, with confidential terms reportedly near $200 million.

Overview

  • The reported transfer covers Spears’s ownership participation in a substantial portion of her publishing catalog, including hits like “...Baby One More Time,” “Toxic,” and “Oops!... I Did It Again.”
  • Industry reporting indicates the agreement concerns publishing/editorial rights and royalty participation rather than master recordings, which are controlled by Sony Music.
  • TMZ first detailed the contract using legal documents, with Variety and Rolling Stone corroborating the deal through additional sourcing.
  • Neither Spears nor Primary Wave has issued an official confirmation or disclosed the final price under the confidentiality provisions described.
  • Manager Cade Hudson is listed in documents as representing Spears, and the transaction is portrayed as notable within the current wave of high‑value catalog sales.
