Britney Spears Sells Music Catalog to Primary Wave for $200M

Reports say that Britney Spears has sold her entire music catalog to Primary Wave Music for about $200 million. The deal, which was signed on December 30, 2025, gives the New York-based publisher ownership of her famous songs like “…Baby One More Time,” “Oops!… I Did It Again,” “Toxic,” and “Gimme More.”

Primary Wave, which is known for buying the catalogs of famous artists like Prince, Whitney Houston, and Kurt Cobain, confirmed the deal through several sources, but the exact amount of money involved is still unknown because of NDAs. This move fits with Spears’ recent personal updates and her promise not to perform in the U.S. for “sensitive reasons.”

The deal is a big change for the 44-year-old pop star. It gives her a lot of money and puts her catalog next to music royalty portfolios. People who watch the music business say it shows a growing trend of artists making money from their old albums as streaming revenue changes.
