Share this @internewscast.com

Brittany Spears has quietly profited from her legendary music career, striking a significant deal to sell the rights to her renowned song catalog.

The 44-year-old pop icon finalized a comprehensive agreement, transferring her ownership stake in numerous chart-topping tracks, such as “…Baby One More Time” and “Toxic.”

According to legal documents, the catalog was acquired by music publishing giant Primary Wave. While the exact amount remains undisclosed, TMZ reported the news on Tuesday.

Sources from the outlet described the transaction as a ‘landmark deal,’ with estimates suggesting it rivals the $200 million catalog sale of Justin Bieber.

The documents indicate Britney finalized the agreement on December 30. Insiders noted she is pleased with the decision and is celebrating by spending time with her children.

The Daily Mail has yet to receive a response to its request for comment from Spears’ representatives.

Spears shares her two sons, Sean, 18, and Jayden, 17, with ex-husband Kevin Federline, whom she was married to for just under three years before their 2007 split. 

The pop princess now joins a growing wave of superstar artists cashing in on their catalogs, following major names like Bieber, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Neil Young, Shakira, KISS, Sting and Phil Collins. 

The trend has exploded in recent years as legacy acts lock in massive payouts for their music rights. 

Notably, Stevie Nicks sold an 80 percent stake in her publishing catalog to Primary Wave in 2020, with her copyrights reportedly valued at around $100 million at the time.

Spears’ catalog is widely regarded as one of the most valuable in modern pop, built on a hitmaking run that began with her 1999 debut.

Since 1999’s Baby One More Time, which sold over 10 million copies worldwide and spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, she has racked up 11 No. 1 singles, more than 30 Top 10 hits, and nine studio albums. 

Hits like Toxic, Oops!… I Did It Again, Gimme More, Circus, and Womanizer have all gone multi-platinum, with cumulative album sales exceeding 100 million worldwide.

Her songs have earned multiple Grammy nominations, MTV Video Music Awards, and Billboard Music Awards, and they continue to generate massive streaming revenue, with billions of streams across Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. 

Legal documents show the catalog was sold to music publishing powerhouse Primary Wave, though the exact price tag has not been disclosed, TMZ reported on Tuesday

In addition, her tracks are in constant rotation on radio, film, commercials, and TikTok trends, giving the catalog long-term commercial earning power that few artists can match. 

The catalog sale comes as the singer has reignited tensions with her family, taking fresh aim at those closest to her amid the lingering fallout from her conservatorship battle. 

Spears claimed she is ‘scared’ of her family and ‘lucky to be alive’ in a bombshell new social media post.

In a bombshell social media post, the pop superstar claimed she is ‘scared’ of her family and ‘lucky to be alive.’

Four years after ending her 13-year conservatorship, largely controlled by her father Jamie Spears, 73, Britney slammed her relatives for ‘isolating’ her and insisted they will ‘never take responsibility’ for their actions.

‘I’m incredibly lucky to even be alive with how my family treated me once in my life and now I’m scared of them,’ the singer wrote in a lengthy caption.

‘They will never take responsibility for what they did,’ she wrote, adding, ‘We can forgive as people but u don’t ever forget.’ 

Spears also revealed her latest health setback, explaining she hasn’t been able to dance after breaking her toe twice – just four months after suffering a ‘horrible’ leg injury.
