That catalogue contains dozens of genre-defining pop hits \u2014 like \u201cOops! \u2026 I Did It Again,\u201d \u201cStronger,\u201d \u201cToxic,\u201d and \u201cPiece of Me\u201d \u2014 all of which make up the soundtrack of our collective millennial childhood. Per the Times, Primary Wave, a music and marketing company that specializes in catalogue acquisitions, bought Spears\u2019s share of the music rights. The exact sale price and terms of the deal are still unknown, though a source <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2026\/02\/10\/britney-spears-sells-music-catalog\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">described<\/a> the agreement to TMZ as a \u201clandmark deal\u201d that took place at the end of December.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.thecut.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmli9fxks001f3b7afgxbk22l@published\" data-word-count=\"67\">Spears joins a growing list of artists selling off the rights to their music for big pay days. In 2023, Justin Bieber <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2023\/01\/24\/media\/justin-bieber-music-catalog-sale\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sold<\/a> his catalogue and the rights to his publishing and artist royalties to Hipgnosis for an estimated $200 million. A source told TMZ that Spears\u2019s payout was likely in the neighborhood of Bieber\u2019s deal. Bruce Springsteen, Shakira, Stevie Nicks, and Sting have all followed suit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.thecut.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmli9fxnc001g3b7a8943swcw@published\" data-word-count=\"61\">It\u2019s unclear what exactly all of this means for Spears, but it sounds like she\u2019s excited to cash out. Sources say that the singer is, as the gossip rag put it, \u201chappy with the sale and has been celebrating by spending time with her kids.\u201d Maybe she was actually getting business advice that one time she hung out with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecut.com\/article\/britney-spears-kim-khloe-kardashian-instagram.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kardashians<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>          Stay in touch.<\/p>\n<p>Get the Cut newsletter delivered daily<\/p>\n<p>        Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n<p class=\"expanded-terms \" aria-hidden=\"true\">By submitting your email, you agree to our <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/newyork\/terms\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Terms<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/nymag.com\/newyork\/privacy\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Privacy Notice<\/a> and to receive email correspondence from us.<\/p>\n<p>  Related<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo: Steve Granitz\/WireImage Britney Spears has sold her music catalogue, according to the New York Times.
