BMG Marks Single Largest Catalog Acquisition Investment in its History

BMG has announced the acquisition of Country music superstar Jason Aldean’s recorded music catalog along with interests in the recorded catalogs and publishing rights of a music collection from a cross-section of 23 artists and songwriters, with the entire acquisition encompassing 1,000+ songs across multiple genres.

To date, the deal marks BMG’s single largest catalog acquisition investment. Recently the company reported that its total investment in music rights since the launch of parent-company Bertelsmann’s Boost program in 2021 has now exceeded $1.5 billion.

Thomas Coesfeld, BMG CEO, said: "This landmark deal sets a new level of catalog acquisitions at BMG, while underscoring our commitment to the music and the discipline of our approach. By bringing together the iconic catalog of Jason Aldean, we are strengthening our footprint in Country music while expanding across genres and deepening our investment in the U.S. – the world’s largest music market. This move highlights our ability to maximize the value of music rights and represents a powerful step in BMG’s strategy to be the most effective, artist-first music company in the world.”

The acquisition of Aldean’s recorded catalog and neighboring rights brings his entire music career firmly under BMG again, since it first acquired BBR Music Group in 2017.

Aldean said: "BBR Music Group and BMG have always shown a real commitment to my music and a belief in me as an artist. Knowing all of my music is in the hands of my long-time label team makes this a full-circle moment, and I’m proud to have my songs continue their journey with them through this next chapter.”

The deal spans nine studio albums from his Platinum-certified self-titled debut in 2005 through the chart-topping 9 in 2019, with BMG’s BBR Music Group imprint Broken Bow Records continuing to release his following albums Macon, Georgia in 2021-2022 and Highway Desperado in 2023.

Jon Loba, President, Frontline Recordings, The Americas, said: "Jason Aldean’s debut album was not only a massive commercial success, it helped define the sound of Country music for years to come. While his signature style has remained a common thread across every release, Jason has consistently pushed the envelope both sonically and lyrically. His unwavering commitment to evolution has ensured that each new album delivers something fresh for fans, while continuing to shape the direction of the genre itself. For millions, those albums mark key moments in their lives, which makes bringing them back to the place where they were born all the more meaningful.”

BMG pays tribute to Ozzy Osbourne – legendary frontman of Black Sabbath, singer-songwriter, groundbreaking television personality, and enduring cultural icon – who passed away on July 22, 2025, at the age of 76. A pioneering figure in heavy metal music, Osbourne leaves behind a legacy spanning more than five decades.

Born in Birmingham, England, in 1948, Osbourne rose to prominence in 1970 as the lead vocalist of Black Sabbath, a band whose dark, thunderous sound helped define the emerging genre of heavy metal. With iconic tracks such as “Paranoid,” “Iron Man,” and “War Pigs,” the band’s early albums became anthems for generations of rock fans. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1970, reached the top 10 in the UK and No. 23 in the U.S. Master of Reality (1971), their highest-charting U.S. release, peaked at No. 8, followed by Vol. 4 (1972) at No. 13 and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath (1973) at No. 11.

Ozzy Osbourne went on to launch a prolific solo career, beginning with 1980’s Blizzard of Ozz and its landmark single “Crazy Train,” ultimately selling over 55 million albums worldwide. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame twice: first as a member of Black Sabbath in 2006, and again as a solo artist in 2024. Known for his distinctive vocal style and apocalyptic stage presence, Osbourne earned the nickname “Prince of Darkness,” inspiring generations of musicians.

In the 2000s, he captivated a new audience as the unlikely star of MTV’s The Osbournes, a hit reality series that became a cultural phenomenon and offered a candid, often humorous glimpse into his family life.

Beyond music and television, Osbourne reshaped the live music landscape with the launch of Ozzfest in 1996 – a groundbreaking touring festival that championed heavy rock and metal acts for more than two decades.

His contributions to music and popular culture are immeasurable. Osbourne recently returned to the stage to perform at his final concert in July 2025. The Back To The Beginning benefit concert featured a powerful reunion of the original Black Sabbath lineup in his hometown of Birmingham.

As part of Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne was a valued BMG catalog and publishing client, and we are proud to continue preserving his and the band’s musical legacy. BMG extends its deepest condolences to the Osbourne family.

BMG mourns the loss of legendary English singer and actress Marianne Faithfull, who passed away on 30 January 2025 at the age of 78.

Born in Hampstead, London, Faithfull achieved popularity in the 1960s with the release of her UK Top 5 single ‘As Tears Go By’. Her debut studio album, Marianne Faithfull, was a huge success, further elevating her profile. She also made her mark in film, starring in I'll Never Forget What's'isname (1967), The Girl on a Motorcycle (1968) and Hamlet (1969).

After a period away from the spotlight, Faithfull made a triumphant comeback with the critically acclaimed 1979 studio album Broken English. The album, often regarded as her "definitive recording", earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.

Throughout her career, Faithfull received numerous accolades, including the World Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2009 Women's World Awards. In 2011, she was named a Commandeur of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French government in recognition of her cultural contributions.

Alistair Norbury, President – Repertoire & Marketing UK, APAC & Europe, said, "Marianne Faithfull was a true icon—an unconventional artist of extraordinary depth, resilience, and creativity. Her oeuvre spanned decades, constantly evolving yet always unmistakably her own. We at BMG are honored to have been part of her journey and to continue celebrating her legacy. Our thoughts are with her family, friends, and all who were inspired by her remarkable life and artistry.”

BMG proudly represents some of the recording rights of Marianne Faithfull’s music catalog, including Vagabond Ways (1999) and Kissin’ Time (2002). BMG also served as the label for her two most recent studio albums, Negative Capability (2018) and She Walks in Beauty (2021), as well as The Montreux Years (2021), a collection of some of Marianne’s most celebrated performances at the Montreux Jazz Festival.

Welcoming multi-Platinum hard rock group Breaking Benjamin🤘🎸🎉

📰🚨
Multi-Platinum hard rock group Breaking Benjamin have signed a new global recordings agreement with BMG to release their first set of new music since 2018. The partnership with BMG also marks the group’s first new label home since releasing their debut album over 20 years ago.

Breaking Benjamin have consistently dominated the Rock charts since their debut album in 2002, Saturate. With 10 Number One hits, Platinum albums, 8.5 billion streams globally, and a social following of over 6.5 million, they’ve solidified their global influence and a strong devoted fan base. Their last release, Aurora, earned them their 10th Number One rock radio hit with ‘Far Away ft. Scooter Ward’.

In a statement, the band said, “Working on these new songs has been a fresh experience for all of us. We've stayed true to the core of who Breaking Benjamin is, but we've also pushed ourselves creatively, exploring new sounds and ideas that we haven’t tapped into before. It’s been about striking that balance between honoring our roots while introducing a fresh take on what our music can be.”
