By Simrin Singh According to The company will acquire the rights to the entire back catalog of Bieber's releases through Dec. 31, 2021 — including publishing copyrights, master recordings, neighboring rights and artist loyalties, the company said.
Bieber has sold over 150 million records globally, Hipgnosis said, adding that all six of his albums have been certified platinum or multi-platinum. "When Justin made the decision to make a catalog deal we quickly found the best partner to preserve and grow this amazing legacy was Merck and Hipgnosis," Braun said in the press release."Justin is truly a once in a generation artist and that is reflected and acknowledged by the magnitude of this deal."
The concept of selling catalogs has become increasingly popular, even amongst younger musical artists like Justin Timberlake and Imagine Dragons, who also sold their catalogs in recent years.
He’ll be sorry.
Well, they wrote it anyway.
I don't understand how a musician can sell the ownership of their work. Why create it?
Ummmm. He got robbed. Entire catalog likely worth 100s millions more. He’s gonna regret it. TheSlyStallone hates that he doesn’t own the rights to Rocky. Then again, he wrote it, but Bieber prolly didn’t write any of his songs.
That'll buy a lot of tattoos. But, where to put them?
“Baby” alone worth $200M
If he’s still in Canada then he will be able to keep most of it!
Didn’t Bruce Springsteen get a Billion for his?
Ya now he is set for life. Good for him, but is this really news worthy?
is that biro?
Honestly, $200 million to own those songs forever seems like great value. They’ll be used in commercials to sell products to that generation for the next 50 years. Bad deal for Bieber. Shortsighted. He’ll regret this.
All together now...'WGAS?!' 😨
Wow
Someone thinks this is important, that's pretty sad.
He got as much as $2 for them.
LOL the deal was done by his manager, Scooter Braun. Man, these kids are getting burneddddddd by the industry execs.
I know people have different tastes n'all, but I can't for the life of me understand why many people out there think tattoos (especially full body tattoos) are attractive.
Wonder how he’s doing regarding his vax injury? No sign of him for months.
I am happy I cannot think of one of his song titles.
It’s funny seeing him all tattooed up and then remembering he sung “baby baby ooooh”
