Have you seen Loose streams? One of the most streamed albums from 2000s. It's not surprising at all.

Nice job Nelly ! seems like she was struggling with money didn't she ? since she didn't release for years.

She’s never struggled with money. She was busy being a mom. Her catalog makes enough money.

Good luck on making any profits from that. :rip:

Loose is one of the most streamed albums from the 00s. One of her flop songs got sampled in a big hit in the UK last year. Seems like someone needs to get in with the times.

Nelly noooooo! 

The Ride was one of my favorite albums of 2017! I know she's still got it - such a shame honestly but she knows what's best for her.

I feel like she should’ve gotten more, she’s had a ton of hits going all the way back to like 2000

with I’m Like A Bird.

Does selling your catalogue prevent you from releasing new music in the future ? :rip:

but we deserve a final album tho. The Ride wasn't THAT good as goodbye album. That's the only thing I demand from her as a stan :mad:  :eli: 

It kind of has goodbye-album written all over it in hindsight, her reflecting on her career, post-Loose depression, her divorce, not caring about the bling anymore etc. 

 

But yeah, I’m kinda bummed too, she always said she still wants to do music when she’s in her 80s. 
 

She will always be an icon of the 2000s though.

Does it depend on the contract? Because that's what this article is implying...

Big Hoops alone should’ve been enough to mark the price up to 100M this is a scam

Girl we are the ones struggling with money :deadbanana:

I think her net work was about 10-30M before the deal

 

OT.: Get your coins legend :clap3:

Hope she releases more music tho. The ride was excellent :jamming:

I fear her retirement is final this time  :'( @karma police@naval23@Electric Youth

Nelly Furtado, the Grammy award-winning singer, is to become the latest international music star to reap rich rewards from her catalogue by striking a deal with a venture backed by Blackstone, the private equity giant.

https://news.sky.com/story/grammy-award-winner-nelly-furtado-strikes-right-note-with-blackstone-deal-12600570

 

It will be the second acquisition struck by HSM since Blackstone announced in November that it was going into partnership with Merck Mercuriadis, founder of the London-listed Hipgnosis Songs Fund.

The first deal was agreed last month with the estate of the late Leonard Cohen.

Wait I knew Blackstone was eating up all the real estate and gouging renters but now they are eating up music catalogs.

 

 

Anyways, Nelly's I'm like a bird, turn off the light, say it right will hopefully be licensed and pushed more.

 

No hay igual needs to go viral

Afraid needs to have her moment

Glow needs to also have her moment.

 

that is all

Maneater deserved icon status but Promiscuous girl overshadowed. The original Umbrella/Shut up and drive

 

Now that is truly all. Get money Nelly

I'm not totally sure but she will donate this to clean her image (Gadafi) and release new stuff....

 

We miss her a lot. 

Posted

Wait, would selling her catalogue prevent her from releasing new/unreleased stuff?!

 

I have been checking my new music Friday playlist every freaking week since she teased new music in October 2020

 

I love her so much I am not ready for this ?

Nah, if she was broke she would've been doing tours and side gigs like paid partnerships etc. It seems like she's chosen to live a very quiet life raising her kids in Canada. She might've had to self-finance more albums, since her new album sales were really low, but she could do it if she wanted to.

Congrats queen wow :jonny:

 

But how are these investment things expecting to make anything back?... What's the idea behind it?

It's a bet that people are going to keep streaming her songs in the future. They're paying her a lot of money in exchange for all future earnings. They're hoping that the songs will keep bringing in millions of dollars annually. Once they've made back 50 million, it'll become pure profit. A good example is how MJ bought the Beatles catalog, which was one of the best investments of all time.

This is a good point. In the article, it says it's for her back catalog. She won't make any more money from her old songs, but she can still release new music and tour her old material if she wants to.

It's kind of ick that it's Blackstone, since they're so problematic, but I like Nelly so much I'm letting it slide...

Doesn't she always say that her new album could be her last :rip: Or she promises no more long breaks and then disappears off the face of the earth for 5 years

Give us the last goodbye album plzzzzz

How do royalties get paid to  Timbaland who is responsible for 80% of the reason anyone would even want her songs. BTW 50 milli seems too high for  2 songs. Promiscuous girl  and  that  Spanish song with Wisin Y Yandel but work I guess queen.

That's actually Blackrock unless Blackstone is under their umbrella.  Yikes.

True :toofunny2:, but I doubt it's the case here.
Nelly is most probably getting the amount of money she would collect in the next 20-30 years (let's say- till the end of her life) from her catalogue, but it's for sure less than total amount of royalties she and her successors would earn till the end of legal protection of her music.
So, she has to be drying up such a stable source of income for a reason, and a reason could be:

1. she's now securing financing of her future musical projects.
Considering she's independent and 40+ she has to pay for everything by herself. With 50 mil $ we may get a proper production and maybe even a nice MV this time
ezgif-2-d83aa86dd2a5.gif
2. she'll use this money to launch her daughter's own musical career.
i once read that Dr. Luke spent more than 20 mil usd to manufacture some never-been name I can't even recall now. 50 mil $ would be more than enough (and Nevis actually has been in the studio lately).
ezgif-2-d83aa86dd2a5.gif
3. Hodgy wants a new Ferrari and baby momma is buying him 7- one for each day of week
ezgif-2-d83aa86dd2a5.gif

 

Anyway, despite that fact that her music proved to be a multi-generational staple, new owners will also be interested in future releases, as it always boosts the catalogue (and especially will in the times of music streaming)

tl;dr we may get something "soon" (and I hope it's not Hodgy's new ride :toofunny3:)

I think you’re forgetting about her two self-written global hits from her first album, manwhore

Or she’s securing the bag to legit retire now and continue her humble, recluse Lifestyle
