# Britney Spears Strikes a $200 Million Deal: Selling Her Iconic Hits Forever? Imagine belting out **"...Baby One More Time"** or **"Oops!... I Did It Again!"** at karaoke, only to realize those timeless anthems now belong to someone else—**Britney Spears has just sold her entire music catalog for around $200 million**[1][2][3]. This blockbuster move, reported by US media like TMZ and confirmed across outlets, hands publishing rights to **Primary Wave Music**, a powerhouse portfolio that already includes legends like Whitney Houston, Bob Marley, and Prince**[2][3]. The deal covers her chart-topping hits from the late '90s pop explosion, securing future royalties from streams, sales, ads, films, and broadcasts for the buyer**[1][2]. While exact figures aren't in legal docs, insiders peg it at a **landmark $200 million**—mirroring Justin Bieber's 2023 sale and joining heavyweights like Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Shakira, Katy Perry, Queen, and Michael Jackson's estate who've cashed in big on this booming trend**[1][2][3]. At 44, Spears steps further from the spotlight she dominated, especially after vowing **"never [to] perform in the U.S. again"** for "extremely sensitive reasons," though she hinted at possible shows with her son in the UK or Australia**[3]. This comes amid her healing journey post-2021 conservatorship end—13 years of control by her father she called abusive—and raw Instagram reflections on losing access to her sons for three years during her marriage to Sam Asghari: *"The hardest years of my life were when my two sons were gone... I was cut off from calling or texting"***[1]. She's now focusing on recovery, signing off one post with a lighthearted *"I'm going to eat cookies and cream ice cream now… god bless u all"***[1]. Why the surge in catalog sales? Streaming has turned back catalogs into goldmines for investors like Sony, Universal, Warner, and firms such as Recognition Music Group—offering artists lump-sum payouts over unpredictable future earnings**[2]. For Spears, it's a financial win after personal turmoil, but fans wonder: Does this close the book on new Britney music?
