Britney Spears sold her entire song catalog

[Teletubby 156,348]

Britney Spears has sold her song catalog and an unclear number of other rights to Primary Wave, two sources confirm to Variety. 

It seems safe to assume that Spears’ share of her royalties and publishing rights were included in the deal. 

Spears has songwriting credits on nearly 40 of the songs in her catalog, although few of them were major hits apart from the ballad “Everytime” and fan favorites like “Me Against the Music,” “S&M,” “Work Bitch!” and others.

Details were unclear —and likely under iron-clad non-disclosure agreements — but TMZ estimated the deal to be in the low nine figures.

Hopefully she gets away from RCA.

I just a did a tiny little bit of reading on Primary Wave, and it seems as though they hold the rights to the catolgues of many dead (and essentially dead) musicians. I guess it's true; Britney is officially done as a recording artist

She should've waited to do the Superbowl and THEN retire and sell...oh well

It says low 9 figures, which starts from 100 million

many of her hits were written by others, she has no songwriting credit on Toxic, ...Baby One More Time, Oops!... I Did It Again, Womanizer, Stronger, Gimme More, I'm a Slave 4 U and more, which lowered the value of her catalog.

I left a similar comment earlier because, for some reason

I envisioned 9 figures as -,---,---

then I was so embarrassed I requested a mod delete it

I just knew 1 million = 6 figures 

Oh my god typing it out, no it isn't

But I knew it was more than a million and googled what 9 figures actually was

Good for her. Just retire already Queen, you’ve been through enough hell.

Good for her. Rolling stone claimed it’s similar to Bieber’s $200M deal. She deserves it and will never have to work again if she chooses not to.

Poor Brit and her fans. I hope she's happy and staying healthy
