Ten years after her last studio album, Britney Spears has sold her music catalog to publisher Primary Wave, according to multiple outlets.
Britney Spears Says She's "Lucky to Even Be Alive" Amid Estrangement From Family
Britney Spears has sold a piece of her.
Indeed, the “Toxic” singer sold her music catalog, and a number of other rights, to music publisher Primary Wave, according to multiple outlets.
While the price tag for Britney’s music was not disclosed, legal docs obtained by TMZ show she signed away the ownership share of her music catalog in December.
In recent years, Primary Wave has purchased the catalogs of artists including Stevie Nicks, Prince, Whitney Houston and Biggie Smalls. Other musicians like Justin Bieber, Bruce Springsteen and Shakira have also parted ways with the ownership of their music in sales to other companies, while Taylor Swift’s masters were famously sold by her former label Big Machine Records in 2019 before she purchased them from Shamrock Capital in 2025.
While Britney—who last released an album in 2016—may not own her music catalog anymore, she has certainly been investing her time in her relationship with kids Sean Preston Federline, 20, and Jayden James Federline, 19, who she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
Last month, the 44-year-old revealed she was gifting her grand piano to one of her sons with hopes to “very soon” be “sitting on a stool with a red rose in my hair, in a bun, performing with my son.”
“He’s a huge star and I’m so humbled to be in his presence!!!” Britney wrote on Instagram Jan. 8. “God speed, little man!!!”

The “...Baby One More Time” singer—who spent Christmas Day 2025 with Jayden for the second year in a row—had also showcased her “genius” younger son’s piano talent in an emotional video earlier in the year.
“Excuse me crying and breathing hard !!!” she captioned an April Instagram video of the teen playing the piano. “I was excited !!! Mamas don’t get enough credit at all these days !!! I mean just saying !!!”
Britney added, “I made a person !!! A live breathing person and I made two of them !!! And my boys are so incredibly sweet and charming !!! I’m so blessed.”
