Washington [US], February 11 : Global pop icon Britney Spears has sold the rights to her entire music catalog to independent publisher Primary Wave.
According to Deadline, the deal includes Spears' biggest chart-toppers such as '... Baby One More Time,' 'Oops! ... I Did It Again,' 'Toxic,' 'Sometimes,' 'Lucky,' and 'I'm a Slave 4 U,' among many others.
A report by TMZ, which first broke the news, stated that the agreement was signed on December 30. While the official financial details have not been disclosed.

With this move, Spears joins a growing list of global music heavyweights who have sold their catalogs in recent years, including Shakira, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, KISS, Neil Young and Randy Newman.
