Pop superstar Britney Spears has sold the rights to her entire music catalog to independent publisher Primary Wave for approximately $200 million, sources confirmed Tuesday (February 10, 2026).

The deal, finalized on December 30, 2025, covers her iconic hits that defined late-1990s and early-2000s pop, including:

  • "...Baby One More Time"

  • "Oops!... I Did It Again"

  • "Toxic"

  • "Womanizer"

  • "Gimme More"

  • "Circus"

  • "Stronger"

  • And dozens more

It's one of the biggest catalog sales in recent years, on par with Justin Bieber's $200 million deal in 2023. Sources call it a "landmark" move, and Spears is reportedly thrilled—she's been celebrating by spending time with her sons, including her recently reconciled son Jayden.

This is one of Spears' biggest financial steps since ending her 13-year conservatorship in 2021 (which she called abusive in her memoir The Woman in Me). Under the conservatorship, she had little control over her earnings or decisions.

Details on exact rights: Sony Music owns her master recordings, so the sale likely covers her artist royalties, publishing shares (for songs she co-wrote or has interests in), and other related rights. Spears isn't the main songwriter on most mega-hits, but the catalog generates ongoing revenue from streaming, TikTok, ads, films, and more—forever for Primary Wave.

The buyer, Primary Wave, already holds catalogs from Prince, Bob Marley, Stevie Nicks, and Biggie Smalls. This fits a hot industry trend: Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Shakira, and others have cashed in on their legacies similarly.

Spears hasn't released new music since her 2016 album Glory or toured since 2018. She recently told fans on social media she'd "never perform in the U.S. again," signaling she's stepped away from the industry professionally.
