died in 2023 at 83<\/a>. Across her multidecade career, Turner won 12 Grammy Awards \u2014 including a Lifetime Achievement Award \u2014 was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1991 and 2021, was honored at the Kennedy Center in 2005 and sold over 150 million records worldwide.<\/p>\nConversations for the Pophouse deal began after her death. Koravos told the AP that BMG still holds a percentage of her catalog. She said Turner’s estate was not involved \u201cas a counterparty but certainly involved and in the sense of informed and participating in the conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTina Turner\u2019s voice and spirit shaped modern music and popular culture,\u201d Alistair Norbury, president of BMG U.K., Continental Europe and APAC, wrote in a statement. \u201cOur responsibility, alongside Pophouse and the Estate, is to ensure her work continues to resonate with audiences around the world, while remaining true to the strength, independence and originality that defined her career.\u201d<\/p>\n
One of many musical investments<\/h2>\n
Pophouse has been making investments outside of Sweden as of late. In 2024, hard rock quartet Kiss sold their catalog, brand name and intellectual property to Pophouse in a deal estimated to be over $300 million. Previously, the band partnered with Pophouse to develop digitized avatars of themselves, which they revealed onstage at the final night of their 2023 farewell tour. <\/p>\n
The cutting-edge technology was created by George Lucas\u2019 special-effects company, Industrial Light & Magic, in partnership with Pophouse. The same companies teamed up for the \u201cABBA Voyage\u201d show in London, where fans could attend a full concert by the Swedish band in their heyday, as performed by their own digital avatars.<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe \u201cQueen of Rock n\u2019 Roll\u201d died at her home in Switzerland.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Also in 2024, Cyndi Lauper entered a partnership with Pophouse, which included the sale of the majority share of her music.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost suits, when you tell them an idea, their eyes glaze over, they just want your greatest hits,\u201d Lauper told the AP at Pophouse’s Stockholm headquarters at the time. \u201cBut these guys are a multimedia company, they\u2019re not looking to just buy my catalog, they want to make something new.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think what interests artists, and the estates of artists in some cases, is that there aren\u2019t very many people who are talking to them about what they want to achieve, creatively, around their body of work,\u201d Koravos says. \u201cSo I think that is interesting to people, it’s interesting to artists, who have got creative projects in their heads that they would like some support realizing. And those are the people we\u2019re interested in talking to.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re not trying to be a major (label),\u201d she adds. \u201cIt\u2019s not a volume game for us. We want to acquire 10 or 12 really unique properties that have even more unique projects attached to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
