The transaction, which was first reported by TMZ, is said to have been finalised on December 30, 2025.

While the exact sum remains undisclosed, a source told the outlet it was on par with Justin Bieber’s reported $200 million deal to sell his back catalogue to Hipgnosis Songs Capital in 2023.

The catalogue includes some of her biggest hits: ‘(You Drive Me) Crazy,’ ‘…Baby One More Time,’ ‘Break The Ice,’ ‘Circus,’ ‘Don’t Let Me Be the Last to Know,’ and ‘Everytime.’

Others are ‘Gimme More,’ ‘Hold It Against Me,’ ‘I Wanna Go,’ ‘If U Seek Amy,’ ‘I’m a Slave 4 U,’ ‘I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman,’ and ‘Lucky’.

Also included are ‘My Prerogative,’ ‘Oops!… I Did It Again,’ ‘Overprotected,’ ‘Piece of Me,’ ‘Sometimes,’ ‘Stronger,’ ‘Till The World Ends,’ ‘Toxic’ and ‘Womanizer’.

Referred to as the ‘Princess of Pop’, she is regarded as one of the most culturally significant figures of the 21st century and is credited with helping revive the teen pop genre.

With the move, Spears, 44, joins a growing list of artistes who have sold their music rights, including Bieber, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Justin Timberlake and Shakira.

Primary Wave is no stranger to such acquisitions. The music publishing company has also acquired the rights to the estates of Notorious B.I.G., Prince, and Whitney Houston.
