Late last year,\u00a0ZZ Top sold its music catalog\u00a0to investment firm KKR and record company BMG for $50 million. Just weeks before\u00a0Bruce Springsteen sold\u00a0his iconic song and publishing catalog to Sony Music for a whopping $500 million. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, last year, Bob Dylan\u00a0sold his massive 600-song catalog\u00a0to Universal Music Publishing Group for a reported $300 million to $400 million in December 2020.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hipgnosis, which was founded in 2018 by former music manager Merck Mercuriadis, formed a partnership with private equity firm Blackstone in October to launch Hipgnosis Song Capital. Blackstone has poured in an initial $1 billion into the fund, which announced this year that it was buying an 80% interest in Kenny Chesney\u2019s recorded-music royalties, as well as Leonard Cohen\u2019s share of his songwriting catalog from the late singer\u2019s estate.<\/p>\n<p>The Timberlake deal is the vehicle\u2019s third major deal and its biggest so far, the company said.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
