The company, known for its immersive entertainment ventures, namely through digital avatars, had long shown interest in doing more with Turner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cOne of the reasons that we were so interested in Tina is because she has such an incredible visual presence and such an incredible stage energy. And so, we\u2019re very much looking at projects that can portray that and try to recreate that to some degree,\u201d Pophouse CEO Jessica Koravos told the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/tina-turner-nil-music-catalog-pophouse-sale-3b93e8b5c9b713140d15b96343bb4854\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Associated Press;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Associated Press&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Associated Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She added, \u201cWhat we want to do is really help to consolidate her legacy. I think that Tina Turner is up there, or is going to be up there, with the Elvises and the Marilyn Monroes of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Turner, who died in 2023, was known as the \u201cQueen of Rock \u2019n\u2019 Roll\u201d and wowed audiences with her stage performance and hit songs such as \u201cWhat\u2019s Love Got To Do With It,\u201d \u201cProud Mary,\u201d \u201cPrivate Dancer,\u201d \u201cThe Best\u201d and more. She won 12 Grammy Awards during her career and was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Recording Academy. She was inducted into the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame twice, first as a member of Ike &amp; Tina in 1991 and as a solo act in 2021.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Shortly after her death, BMG and Pophouse began discussions about her catalog. While BMG still has a percentage of the catalog, according to Koravos, Turner\u2019s estate was \u201cas a counterparty but certainly involved and in the sense of informed and participating in the conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\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<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Recently, the estate of <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thegrio.com\/2026\/03\/14\/quincy-jones-catalog-sold-harbourview\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Quincy Jones;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;Quincy Jones&quot;}\" class=\"link \">Quincy Jones<\/a> sold his name, image and likeness rights to investment firm <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/music\/music-industry-news\/quincy-jones-estate-sells-music-rights-harbourview-1236529382\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:HarbourVIew;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;HarbourVIew&quot;}\" class=\"link \">HarbourVIew<\/a> for an undisclosed amount.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>More must-reads:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The move echoes a similar one made by the estate of Quincy Jones.
