\n\tPophouse<\/a> Entertainment, the Sweden-based company co-founded by ABBA\u2019s Bj\u00f6rn Ulvaeus, has completed a transaction that sees Pophouse becoming an owner alongside BMG in \u201cthe music interests of the music catalogue\u201d of the late, legendary R&B singer-songwriter Tina Turner<\/a>. According to the unusually worded announcement, the transaction sees Pophouse becoming the majority owner in the music interests of Turner, who died in 2023<\/a> at the age of 83.<\/p>\n

\n\tTerms of the deal were not disclosed. In 2021, Turner sold her shares<\/a> of her solo recordings, publishing assets, and name and likeness rights to BMG for a reported $50 million. <\/p>\n

\n\tTurner\u2019s career spanned six decades and several record labels, although her biggest-selling titles, such as \u201cWhat\u2019s Love Got to Do With It\u201d and \u201cThe Best,\u201d were originally released by Capitol-EMI and are currently under Universal Music\u2019s Parlophone imprint. <\/p>\n

\n\tTurner was inducted twice into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (as a solo artist, and as half of the Ike & Tina Turner duo with her former husband) and won 12 Grammy Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award, and is one of the top-selling female artists of all time.<\/p>\n

\n\tAccording to the announcement, Pophouse, alongside BMG and the Tina Turner Estate, \u201cwill focus on long-term stewardship and contribute creative ideas that respect and laud Tina Turner\u2019s artistry, to continue to elevate her work and legacy among existing fans as well as new ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOther catalogs acquired by Pophouse include Kiss, Cyndi Lauper, Avicii and Swedish House Mafia.<\/p>\n

\n\tPophouse CEO Jessica Koravos said \u201cI am thrilled to welcome Tina Turner\u2019s iconic catalogue to the Pophouse family. We will now set in motion a series of creative projects to celebrate Tina Turner\u2019s remarkable music and persona and secure her legacy as the Queen of Rock n\u2019 Roll.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tAlistair Norbury, BMG\u2019s president, UK, Continental Europe & APAC, said: \u201cTina Turner\u2019s voice and spirit shaped modern music and popular culture. Our responsibility, alongside Pophouse and the Estate, is to ensure her work continues to resonate with audiences around the world, while remaining true to the strength, independence and originality that defined her career.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pophouse Entertainment, the Sweden-based company co-founded by ABBA\u2019s Bj\u00f6rn Ulvaeus, has completed a transaction that sees Pophouse becoming…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":337481,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[156,157,111,139,69,180718,33536],"class_list":["post-337480","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-entertainment","tag-music","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-pophouse","tag-tina-turner"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337480","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=337480"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337480\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/337481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=337480"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=337480"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=337480"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
