Bruno Mars Sells Part of Song Catalog to Warner Chappell Music

Bruno Mars quietly sold off a portion of his song catalog to Warner Chappell Music more than six months ago, according to sources and confirmed by the company. Mars typically collaborates with other writers, including The Smeezingtons, but only his portion of that team's catalog was up for sale. Sources indicate Mars didn’t sell 100% of his share, retaining a minority stake in the songs sold to WCM.

Mars' catalog includes solo hits like "Just The Way You Are," "Grenade," "Locked Out Of Heaven" and "The Lazy Song," as well as tracks he co-wrote and appeared on such as B.o.B.'s "Nothin' On You" and Travie McCoy's "Billionaire." His catalog also includes numerous co-writes for other artists, including CeeLo Green's "fukk You" and Far East Movement's "Rocketeer," among others.

According to ASCAP and BMI's Songview system, Mars has a stake in 232 songs.

So he only sold off a portion and retains a minority stake in everything he sold

They all get fairly compensated for it so depending on what they do with the money their kids could still eat.

Depending on how much… it could all make sense. I know a lot of artists are doing this. He will make more
