Britney Spears has sold the rights to her music catalogue to entertainment company Primary Wave. The agreement includes nearly 40 tracks on which Spears holds songwriting credits.
Among the songs are notable hits such as “Everytime,” “Me Against the Music,” and “S&M.” The transaction also covers Spears’ artiste royalties and publishing rights.
Primary Wave specialises in music publishing, licensing, and commercial management of artistes’ catalogues. The company oversees the works of artistes such as Bob Marley, Stevie Nicks, and Whitney Houston.
Spears’ Recent Music Hiatus
Britney Spears has not released an album since Glory in 2016. She has also not performed live since October 2018, when she appeared at the Formula One Grand Prix in Austin, Texas.
A planned second Las Vegas residency, Domination, scheduled for 2019, was postponed indefinitely, and Spears subsequently stepped away from live performances.
Post-Conservatorship Reflections And Future Plans
Following the end of her 13-year conservatorship in 2021, Spears has remained active on social media, sharing reflections about her family and personal experiences. However, she has maintained a low public profile in music.
In January 2026, she stated that she would not perform in the United States again for “extremely sensitive reasons”, while remaining open to international performances.
She wrote:
“I will never perform in the U.S. again because of extremely sensitive reasons but I hope to be sitting on a stool with a red rose in my hair, in a bun, performing with my son… in the UK and AUSTRALIA very soon.”
