BMG make French acquisition
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 26 April 2010
The French bit of the very acquisition hungry BMG Rights Management has bought up the catalogues of PRK Music and Music Addict.
These include French language songs by the likes of Yannick Noah, Marc Lavoine, Natasha St Pier, Michel Sardou, Tina Arena and Celine Dion, as well as most of the songs of Yannick Noah, a French tennis champion who went on to have a successful pop career.
Confirming the deal, BMG Rights Management France’s MD Stéphane Berlow told CMU: “We are thrilled to become the publisher of these two exceptional catalogues. We are particularly proud as this concerns songs that appeal to a large public, which will ensure their long term popularity. We will make sure we develop their success further going forward”.
