In a monumental move within the music industry, global pop sensation Katy Perry has made headlines by selling her entire music catalog to Litmus Music for a staggering $225 million. This acquisition, backed by the Carlyle Group LP, secures the rights to Perry’s illustrious musical journey spanning five albums released between 2008 and 2020.

Perry’s discography included in this landmark deal features hit albums like “One of the Boys,” “PRISM,” “Witness,” “Smile,” and the Grammy-nominated masterpiece, “Teenage Dream.” Each of these albums represents a unique chapter in her career, marked by chart-topping singles and profound artistic evolution.

The completion of Katy Perry’s catalog sale comes on the heels of a similar transaction involving Justin Bieber, who sold his music rights to Hipgnosis Songs Capital for an impressive $200 million. These moves underscore the increasing trend of artists monetizing their musical legacies in an ever-evolving industry.

Katy Perry’s musical journey began in earnest in 2008, and since then, she has achieved an incredible nine No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Notably, she made history as the first woman to have five songs from a single album ascend to the top of this prestigious chart. Her indelible mark on the music world has earned her a dedicated fan base and numerous accolades.

Dan McCarroll, co-founder and chief creative officer of Litmus, expressed his admiration for Katy Perry, hailing her as a “creative visionary.” He emphasized her significant influence across music, television, film, and philanthropy. McCarroll also expressed his excitement at the prospect of partnering with Perry once again and overseeing her remarkable musical legacy.

Managing director at Carlyle, Matt Settle, echoed these sentiments, highlighting the company’s pride in collaborating with some of the world’s most esteemed artists. He commended Katy Perry for her iconic songs, which not only achieved extraordinary commercial success but also left an indelible imprint on popular culture.

Katy Perry’s decision to sell her music catalog is a strategic move that allows her to capitalize on her artistic achievements while entrusting her work to a reputable entity like Litmus Music. As the music industry continues to evolve, these high-profile catalog sales signify a new chapter in the relationship between artists and their musical legacies. Katy Perry’s musical journey is far from over, and her fans eagerly await her next creative endeavors, secure in the knowledge that her past work is in capable hands.
