Katy Perry Sells Catalog Rights to Litmus Music for $225 Million

[Ziggiy]

I wonder how much RZA got for his catalogue

RZA didn’t sell his entire share, he sold 50%. So i’m guessing his payout would be a little lower.

This is a major come up considering she doesn't write her own songs.

This might be the biggest win of all the catalog sales we've seen so far.

From a music business standpoint, that amount is staggering. Coach K and P sold the whole QC label for $300M, with acts such as Migos, Lil Baby, City Girls, and more. Katy Perry got 75 percent of that amount for just HER catalog.

Obvisously she's had more trendy pop hits, but it really makes me wonder what type of lasting power black music has in todays world

Her albums were much more successful than all of them combined.

Her shyt aint worth more than that?

Is that not a lot of money?

White people run the game so eventually the music was going to run its course.

Katy Perry is bigger than all of them combined.

Beyoncé is the real comparison.

If a company is willing to buy your product/work for a price it is usually worth 10x more.

No I don't.....

Every artist that blew in the 10s before streaming became available for everyone is lucky man. The radio still mattered back then and the music resonated a lot easier. A non Katy Perry fan could easily recognize her songs whether they know it's her or not.

Olivia Rodrigo is one of the biggest pop stars coming up and even after listening to her songs I couldn't pick one of them if it got played on repeat. The value of music has depreciated exponentially

It’s worth more to a company who owns a lot of music.
If an advertiser or media company wants to use music in their product or to sell their product they don’t want to have to establish a relationship with Katy Perry they’ll go somewhere that can offer a variety of music for whatever they want to do with it.
