Justin Bieber sold his music catalog to the company "Hypagnosis" for a huge sum of more than 200 million dollars.
According to an official statement from the company, the deal includes all of Bieber's songs (including their master recordings), their distribution rights and any material he recorded, which amounts to approximately 290 songs, until December 31, 2021. The website "Variety" reports that his songs of the pop star will continue to be managed by the "Universal Music" company.
Rumors about the purchase began to circulate in the music industry a few weeks ago.

When Justin decided to sign a catalog deal, we soon found the best partner for it . For 15 years I've been grateful to have been able to witness his journey, and today I'm happy for all parties involved. Justin's greatness is just beginning."
"Justin Bieber's impact on global culture over the last 14 years is unique and extraordinary," Mark Mercouriadis, founder and CEO of Hypgnosis Song Management, said in a statement. From 70.

This news comes just weeks after the singer was forced to cancel the remaining shows on his "Justice" tour due to a medical condition he is dealing with, in which he suffered facial paralysis.
Although this is an impressive achievement by all accounts, it should be noted that unlike other catalogs of legendary artists that were sold at huge prices, such as that of the band Genesis and Phil Collins whose songs were recently sold for 300 million dollars, Bieber's catalog is less proven than the others.
For Hypgnosis this is their biggest acquisition to date.
Earlier this year, the company purchased the rights to Justin Timberlake's catalog of work for approximately $100 million.
In the past, she also acquired the rights to Leonard Cohen's songs.
