According to sources, Litmus paid $225 million for Perry’s stake in the master recording royalties and music publishing rights to her five albums released between 2008 and 2020 — One of the Boys, Teenage Dream, PRISM, Witness and Smile.

HHipgnosis Songs Capital has closed its deal to buy 100% of Justin Bieber‘s publishing, as well as his artist royalties from his master recordings and neighboring rights, Hipgnosis has confirmed. The deal was priced at just north of $200 million, according to a source familiar with the situation, making this the largest rights sale for any artist of Bieber’s generation. It’s also Hipgnosis’ biggest acquisition to date, covering all 290 titles in Bieber’s catalog released prior to Dec. 31, 2021, including his most recent album, Justice (2021).

Well Teenage Dream alone is bigger than any of Justin's albums so this is a very reasonable deal

0 $$$ from royalitiess...and I think they can still performe their songs on tours without paying anything to the owner

Are we going to pretend Bieber's career is bigger than Perry's ? He is more relevant but overall she's definitely a bigger name with more hits, bigger hits and more iconic moments.

If they're barely getting royalties, why would anyone buy their catalogs? Doesn't seem like a good investment.

A lot of JB's hits are collabs on other artists' songs so he probably never owned them in the first place.

We don't know what stakes of their catalog they precisely own to compare.

His career is bigger

 

He has bigger albums, bigger tours and has bigger and more numerous hits. He's also been the bigger celebrity for years. :rip:

He has 8 #1s, now let's guess who will get to 10 first :deadbanana4:

 

OT: it's so easy, a lot of his biggest hits don't belong to his discography: Despacito, I Don't Care, Stay, Let Me Love You, I'm The One, No Brainer etc.

Ate them up.

Yeah Justin is way bigger than Katy. 

But Katy is more of a songwriter than Justin. So her publishing percentages are much higher than Biebers. Also she has way less features.

So it makes sense tbh
