TaylorSwift 164,549 Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 (edited) The star closed the deal with Pophouse, the Swedish music catalog investment firm co-founded by Abba’s Björn Ulvaeus, and will be collaborating with the firm to launch an immersive digital avatar production based around her music. An official announcement is expected imminently. The singer-songwriter’s plans to crossover into the digital realm will include a show incorporating her songs as an artist and as a writer, according to a source familiar with the deal, and utilize her vocals on global hits like Rihanna’s “Diamonds,” which has reached more than 2 billion Spotify streams. The show’s debut is at least a couple years out, adds the source, and may tour to select cities, though it’s still in the early stages of planning. Pophouse’s stake in Sia’s catalog is limited to publishing and master recording rights, and does not include name and likeness. An insider estimates Sia’s songs bring in $18 million annually in writing and performance royalties. In delivering all of her top hits using her vocals and new versions of her songs, it’s poised to be a highly lucrative move for both Pophouse and Sia, who boasts some of the most impressive streaming numbers in the music industry. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/sia-sells-50-percent-catalogue-180-million-1235635118/ Edited October 1 by TaylorSwift Vote for me: https://www.grammy.com/vote/taylor-swift 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

salty like sodium 2,270 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 4 hours ago, Pablo said: I'm guessing she sold everything from 2010 and on? no, she sold 50% of everything. imagine her catalog is a company and she owned like 20% shares (as an example). now she owns 10% shares. 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvinGa 1,402 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Ok but did you read the full story? Sia has sold a 50 percent stake in her music catalog for a whopping $180 million, Rolling Stone has confirmed. News of the sale was first reported by TMZ. The star closed the deal with Pophouse, the Swedish music catalog investment firm co-founded by Abba’s Björn Ulvaeus, and will be collaborating with the firm to launch an immersive digital avatar production based around her music. An official announcement is expected imminently. @rollingstone so she basically sold her catalogue to invest in avatar-performance and she won’t even perform live 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helxig 45,875 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 IT seems like she's probably going to cash it out so she can take a step back from fame and just live off it forever. But she'll probably have some big come back in 10 years stating she 'couldn't be away from the music' I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GagaisHotAF 497 Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 i don’t get all these firms buying up music for these ludicrous prices. her music brings in $18 milion a year so they will recoup their investment in 10 years? Probably on Grindr Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
