US pop star Britney Spears has sold the rights to her music catalog, which includes iconic hits like “…Baby One More Time” and “Oops!…I Did It Again,” according to US media reports.
The 44-year-old singer has songwriting credits on nearly 40 songs in the catalog, including fan favorites such as “Everytime,” “Me Against the Music,” “S&M,” and “Work Bitch!” While not all were chart-topping hits, they have become staples of Spears’ career.
The deal is estimated to be worth around $200 million, according to sources cited by TMZ, though legal documents do not specify the exact figure.
Spears joins a growing trend of artists selling their music rights, following the footsteps of legends like Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan.
The singer has not released a new album since 2016’s Glory and has not performed live since October 2018, when she concluded her Piece of Me residency tour in Austin, Texas. A planned 2019 Las Vegas residency, Domination, was postponed indefinitely, marking Spears’ temporary exit from live performances.
The sale of her catalog represents a significant move in her career, allowing Spears to capitalize on her musical legacy while stepping back from the spotlight.
