Britney Spears Sells Music Catalog, Other Rights to Primary Wave

By VMZ Staff on February 11, 2026

Britney Spears has sold her song catalog and an unclear number of other rights to Primary Wave

Reps for both Spears and Primary Wave declined Variety‘s requests for comment; the news was first reported by TMZ.

Details were unclear —and likely under iron-clad non-disclosure agreements — but TMZ estimated the deal to be in the low nine figures.It seems safe to assume that Spears’ artist royalties and publishing rights were included in the deal. The TMZ report, which is based on legal documents the publication says it has viewed, states that she sold “her ownership share of her catalog” to Primary Wave; it notes that the price was not included in the legal documents.

Sony Music owns and controls the rights to Spears’ entire recorded music catalog, so it seems likely she sold the rights to her artist royalties. She has songwriting credits on nearly 40 of the songs in her catalog, although few of them were major hits apart from the ballad “Everytime” and fan favorites like “Me Against the Music,” “S&M,” “Work Bitch!” and others.

It seems extremely unlikely that Spears’ NIL rights (name and likeness) were included in the deal, unless it was for exponentially more than the price TMZ speculates.

There are any number of options for exploitation of the catalog, including the forthcoming biopic based on her memoir “The Woman in Me,” which landed at Universal Pictures in 2024. A jukebox musical based on her hits, “Once Upon a One More Time,” premiered on Broadway in 2023.
