This exclusive global publishing agreement encompasses the entirety of Gary Barlow’s songwriting portfolio, spanning a four-decade career and contributing to over 45 million record sales worldwide. The deal structure aggregates rights for enduring Take That standards like “Back for Good” alongside solo compositions and co-writes, while crucially extending to cover future copyrights. BMG’s acquisition secures the publisher’s stake in upcoming output, including Take That’s tenth studio album.
Strategically, this move underscores BMG’s focus on “active legacy” assets, positioning Barlow alongside roster peers like Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. By securing these rights ahead of the band’s revived stadium tour, BMG effectively captures the upside of renewed sync and performance royalties driven by live market activity.
