The deal includes the publishing rights to a back catalogue that spans over 290 titles, including hits "Sorry," and "Despacito." “The impact of Justin Bieber on global culture over the last 14 years has truly been remarkable,” Merck Mercuriadis, founder and CEO of Hipgnosis Song Management said in a statement. Bieber joins a growing body of artists, including Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, in making major deals to sell the rights to their back catalogues. In January 2022, it was revealed Dylan, 81, had sold the rights to his entire back catalogue to Sony.

☆ Why companies are eager to strike massive music catalog deals
  + stars: | 2023-01-24 | by ( Oliver Darcy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
In the last few years, generational stars have inked nine-figure deals to hand over the rights to their catalogs. And, younger artists have taken part in the action too, with singers such as John Legend and Iggy Azalea striking deals. Now, services like Spotify and Apple Music have revolutionized the music industry. Unlike legacy companies, these new businesses don’t have a long track record managing music. The labels, he said, often have a disparate set of goals, including creating new hits, which could distract them from the singular mission of managing older music.

Hipgnosis owns the rights to songs written by artists such as Shakira, Lindsey Buckingham and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Investors are demanding a change of tune at Hipgnosis Songs Fund Ltd., the London-listed investment vehicle that owns the rights to tens of thousands of songs written by artists such as Shakira, Lindsey Buckingham and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Hipgnosis was founded by Merck Mercuriadis , a former pop-star manager who has called catalog copyrights recession-proof, and better than investing in oil or gold. Hit songs can yield decades of payments for their owners, as they are streamed, played on the radio, performed live or featured in advertisements.
