Today (January 13), the UK-listed company has confirmed that it has acquired 100% of the music publishing rights – including both publisher and writer’s share – to Shakira’s entire catalog.

That catalog comprises 145 songs, which between them have made Shakira the bestselling female Latin artist of all time.

In total, Shakira has sold over 80 million records to date, winning three Grammys and 12 Latin Grammys, in addition to a host of other awards.

She currently has over 32 million monthly listeners on Spotify, while her official YouTube channel is closing in on 20 billion lifetime plays.

These are just publishing rights. Artists should have their masters. These pretty much exist to be sold unless you're Jay-Z and own your own distribution.
